Rear impact responses of 50th percentile female and male dummies in a seat with different whiplash injury risk reduction for women and men.

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
The aim of this study was to investigate the difference in rear impact dynamic response between a male and a female crash test dummy, in Saab 9-3 seats fitted with the Saab Active Head Restraint (SAHR) whiplash injury mitigation system. According to real world injury data, this SAHR system offers a greater risk reduction for the male population in comparison to the female. Identifying response differences between the male and female dummies, could explain the risk differences seen in real world crashes. Six sled tests were performed in Saab 9-3 seats (model year 1998-2002) in accordance with the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) whiplash test procedure (medium pulse, Δv 16 km/h, max acceleration 10 g). Two different low speed rear impact crash test dummies were used for the tests; the 50th percentile female prototype BioRID P50F_V2 and the 50th percentile male BioRID II. Both dummies exhibited early Head Restraint (HR) contact times which resulted in Neck Injury Criterion (NIC) values well below the recommended limit of 15 m
