Acute and Longitudinal Effects of Concussion on Reactive Balance in Collegiate Athletes.
Article in Neurorehabilitation and neural repair, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
BackgroundPostural instability is a common observation after concussions, with balance assessments playing a crucial role in clinical evaluations. Widely used post-concussion balance tests focus primarily on static and dynamic balance, excluding the critical aspect of reactive balance.ObjectivesThis study investigated the acute and longitudinal effects of concussion on reactive balance in collegiate athletes.MethodsConcussed and healthy matched controls NCAA division I athletes were assessed at pre-season baseline and 4 post-concussion timepoints: acute, pre-return-to-play (RTP), post-RTP, and 6 months post-concussion. The instrumented-modified Push and Release test measured reactive balance during single- and dual-task conditions. Longitudinal effects of concussions on time to stability and step latency metrics were investigated applying Generalized Estimating Equations.ResultsAcutely after concussion, athletes demonstrated impaired reactive balance, indicated by longer times to stability, in dual-task conditions (
