Psychiatric risk factors in Formula One and the importance of integrating mental health into driver science.
Article in Frontiers in sports and active living, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Formula One (F1) racing has recently grown in popularity, extending well beyond its traditional European roots. However, there has been a paucity of scholarly research dedicated to the health of drivers and even less discussion of the prevalence of psychiatric symptoms, risk factors, and types of psychopathology in F1. This is notable given advancements in sports psychiatry and evidence of psychiatric disorders emerging across other sports. Accordingly, this perspective paper details the physiological conditions in F1 and the socioenvironmental pressures that a driver may encounter during their career, including heat stress, weight restrictions, harassment, and other factors. These extreme physiological and psychological stressors, both in racing and non-racing environments, alongside sport-specific psychosocial pressures, may cause HPA axis dysregulation and other issues in drivers, heightening vulnerabilities for mental health concerns. Additionally, F1 is still affected by stigmatizing attitudes and regressive sociocultural norms, which could inhibit progress toward promoting sustainable wellbeing. Consequently
