Using impact monitoring mouthguards to measure head impact exposure in elite ice hockey.
Article in JSAMS plus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Even though women's ice hockey does not permit deliberate checking between players, female players are at similar or even higher risk to sustain concussions, as male players. Several studies have investigated head impacts in ice hockey, however to the best of the authors' knowledge, no previous study has used impact monitoring mouthguards to investigate head impact exposure among professional female ice hockey players. Methods: Impact monitoring mouthguards were used to collect head impact data during games in the Swedish Women's Hockey League and in the men's Swedish J20 SuperElite League in 2020. Results: Female players had significantly higher median linear accelerations than male players (26 [19-35] g, vs. 7 [5-9] g, Conclusion: Compared to male players, female players sustain fewer but harder impacts to the head, which may explain the high occurrence of concussion in women's ice hockey.
