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

Aggressive riding behavior is a key contributing factor to road accidents, particularly in motorcycling, where rider dynamics directly influence vehicle stability and control. Despite growing interest in objective behavioral assessment, validated classification frameworks specific to motorcycles remain scarce in the literature. This pilot study investigated the feasibility of a standard deviation-based method for classifying aggressive riding behavior in a single experienced motorcyclist navigating two distinct environments: an urban route (UR) and a suburban national route (SNR). The participant completed two 20 min rides under real-world conditions. The UR was characterized by frequent accelerations, braking, speed bumps, and traffic lights, whereas the SNR features low traffic density and minimal interruptions. Longitudinal acceleration data were continuously recorded using a Vicon Blue Trident measurement unit mounted on the motorcycle seat. Drawing on the threshold principles established in automotive research, an environment-specific classification framework was developed to categorize riding events into normal, aggressive, and dangerous levels for both acceleration and deceleration maneuvers. The derived thresholds revealed pronounced environmental differences: UR thresholds (acceleration: 2.122 m/s
