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

Epidemiological studies have reported a prevalence of neck pain among rotary-wing aircrew (RWA), attributed in part to head-supported mass (HSM) including helmet and night vision goggles (NVG). Combined HSM and movement of the head away from the neutral position results in increased muscle activation and increased loads in the neck; however, the effect of HSM has not been quantified at the tissue level. In the present study, the tissue-level response to HSM was investigated using a detailed human finite element head-neck (HN) model. Non-neutral HN positions were achieved by activating the neck muscles, and three conditions were simulated for 25° flexion: (1) baseline HN model (HN
