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

Dismounted warfighter physical and cognitive performance is complex, involving interdependent domains such as mobility, lethality, survivability and sustainability. This article provides an overview of topics presented during the 'holistically assessing dismounted infantry performance: bridging science and operational relevancy' session of the sixth International Congress on Soldiers' Physical Performance, held in London, UK, 2023. These topics include the investigation of multivariate aspects of dismounted performance at both the individual warfighter and squad levels. Discussion includes a general approach to quantifying warfighter and squad-level dismounted performance, specific body-worn sensors used to investigate performance, including heart rate variability and movement mechanics, a specific investigation into the effect of hearing acuity on individual and group performance, and lastly moving towards predicting performance with body-worn sensors.
