Functional Vision Questionnaire Detects Near Triad Impairments in Adolescent Athletes With Concussion History.
Article in Journal of neuro-ophthalmology : the official journal of the North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundConcussions are mild traumatic brain injuries that often cause vision problems. They have significant impacts on everyday life, cognitive capacity, and sports performance, and may affect injury prevalence in fast contact sports such as ice hockey. A functional vision questionnaire specifically designed for sports was used here to study the correlation between vision problems and concussion history.
methodsIn this national cross-sectional concussion study, 860 Finnish elite-level male adolescent ice hockey players (aged 13-21 years) answered a functional vision questionnaire and performed a computerized neurocognitive test, ImPACT. Totally 265 athletes reported a history of at least 1 concussion. All data were statistically compared with age-matched athletes with no concussion history (n = 595). For further analysis, athletes were divided into subgroups by age and number of previous concussions.
resultsPreviously concussed athletes reported more general and eye-specific symptoms than their healthy controls. Increases in eye fatigue, frontal headaches, and blinking were statistically significant. Also statistically more problems with depth perception and evaluating distances, concentration problems, blurred vision, and losing the object in sight were observed among athletes with concussion history.
conclusionsConcussion history reflects an increase in the prevalence of vision deficits, as determined by multiple disturbances in the near triad. The significant number of vision problems in the concussion history groups strongly suggests that functional vision should routinely be evaluated in athletes. The vision problems observed in the athletes with concussion history may indicate an increased injury risk that should be addressed.
