In-lab assessment of a ice hockey helmet-integrated sensor fusion framework for torque estimation: A proof-of-concept study.
Article in JSAMS plus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study presents a proof-of-concept ice hockey helmet-integrated system for characterizing in-lab rotational loading, consisting of a single Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and custom soft foam force sensors. A total of 72 controlled pendulum impacts (33 J and 79 J) were delivered to a helmeted Anthropomorphic Test Device (ATD) at side and crown locations. A custom algorithm detected impacts and estimated torque by combining IMU-derived directions with force magnitudes. Results showed successful discrimination between conditions, with crown impacts producing lower torque. Recognizing torque as a relevant metric may improve monitoring and prevention of brain injury in contact sports.
