1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Ballistic virtual reality (VR) can measure shooting performance reliably in trained and untrained subjects. The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether baseline traits such as age, habitual physical activity, and prior experience are correlated with VR decision-making and reaction time performance. Thirty participants completed a series of VR tests-Color Shapes and Steel Plates-while shooting a laser-guided and CO
