Running and Thinking: Unmasking the Lingering Effects of Sports Concussions Through Complex Dual-Task Testing.

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
objectiveThis study investigated gait and cognitive dual-task costs under a dual-task paradigm that was more challenging than the traditional tasks used in research.
methodsA total of 43 18-25-year-old male and female student athletes were recruited (20 asymptomatic concussed athletes who suffered at least one concussion 2.79-7.92 months before testing, 23 never concussed). Athletes performed a complex rapid decision-making and executive function computerized task while walking continuously and maintaining a predetermined speed on a non-motorized treadmill (6.5 km/h). The outcome measures were gait and cognitive dual-task costs.
resultsRepeated-measures ANOVAs were conducted to evaluate group differences. Pearson correlations were conducted to evaluate the association between dual-task costs and concussion injury variables. The results showed that both groups experienced greater difficulty with dual-task performance related to gait, whereas only the concussion group exhibited poorer cognitive performance under the dual-task condition (both not significant). The significant correlation between time since injury and gait dual-task cost (r = -0.72,
conclusionsWhile dual-task gait alterations were common to both groups, only individuals with a history of concussion showed specific cognitive impairments under dual-task conditions. The observed associations between dual-task costs and both time since injury and symptom recovery underscore the potential of complex dual-task assessments to provide nuanced insights into post-concussion recovery trajectories and to detect subtle, lingering deficits.
