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

Altered visual-cognitive functions and balance control are commonly detected following sport-related concussion (SRC). However, there are no integrated clinical strategies to characterize vision, cognition, and balance beyond the resolution of symptoms for athletes following SRC. To examine how recent SRC history may affect performance for athletes on a dynamic visual acuity (DVA) task while standing. Interuniversity athletes with SRC history who were asymptomatic (SRC = 25; females = 12) were compared to athlete controls (CONTROL = 35; females = 19). A custom DVA program presented a Tumbling "E" moving randomly (RW) or horizontally (H) at 30°/s viewed from 4 m. Athletes identified the target's orientation using a keypad while seated and standing on a force plate (1000 Hz). The lowest target size correctly identified was scored as the log of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR). Dual-task performance was characterized by, 1) a relative change in DVA logMAR score from seated; 2) response time (RT); and 3) balance control. Balance control was quantified using the root mean square of centre of pressure displacement (dCOP) and standard deviation of high frequency (> 0.4 Hz) component of COP (COP
