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

In combat and sport, there is an urgent need to identify readiness for performance to decide on removal from and return to activity. Cognitive readiness, including attention, can be impaired for many potentially coexisting reasons, including concussive or subconcussive injury, insufficient sleep/fatigue, and intoxication. Standard tests of concussion, sleep deprivation, and intoxication are often lengthy or require specialized skill or equipment to conduct. The ideal readiness screen should predict readiness or be associated with surrogate measures of readiness, be sensitive to multiple conditions that may impair readiness, and be reliable and rapid. This study outlines the methodology for an evidence-based process to develop multimodal rapid screening tests for readiness that are applicable across a broad range of environments, including military far-forward/sports sideline, garrison, and clinic.
