Head Acceleration Events in Collegiate Rodeo Athletes.
Article in Annals of biomedical engineering, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeRepetitive head impacts in sports have been of increasing concern due to their potential impact on long-term brain health. Despite this recognition, head impacts have rarely been investigated in the sport of rodeo. This study tracked and characterized head acceleration events (HAEs) experienced by collegiate rodeo athletes in the roughstock events of Bareback, Saddle Bronc, and Bull Riding.
methodsInstrumented mouthguards were used to track HAEs in 13 Bareback, Saddle Bronc, and Bull Riding athletes at National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA)-sanctioned competitions. HAEs were subsequently video verified and categorized based on the cause of HAE.
resultsA total of 112 rides were monitored across five collegiate rodeo competitions capturing 344 HAEs. Bareback was associated with the highest frequency of HAEs of the three events but the lowest median linear acceleration. The most common mechanism of HAE across the events was whiplash, rather than direct head contact.
conclusionCollegiate rodeo athletes in Bareback, Saddle Bronc, and Bull Riding experience significant HAEs throughout a rodeo season that varies based on event and mechanism of HAE.
