The Problems and Design of a Neck Dummy.

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
This paper addresses the biomechanical requirements and design of a neck dummy for assessing neck injury risks. The need for an accurate biomechanical representation of the human neck in crash tests is highlighted, emphasizing the importance of replicating the neck's response to impacts. Existing neck dummies are reviewed to assess their similarity to human neck biomechanics, revealing several limitations. To address these gaps, a novel prototype is proposed to mimic the joint between two vertebrae using elastic elements to replicate the behavior of the intervertebral disc. The performance of the neck dummy is evaluated through experimental testing, using IMU and force sensors to monitor its response to perturbations from impacts. The reported results demonstrate that the prototype effectively simulates the intervertebral movement, offering an approach for more accurate injury assessments in crash testing. Concluding remarks suggest the potential of this design to improve the reliability of neck injury assessments in automotive safety research.
