Concussion Safety Beliefs and Participation Decisions Among US Adults With a History of Concussion.
Article in Orthopedic reviews, 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
Introduction: Concussion safety education must address specific participation decisions as well as general beliefs. Method: An anonymous, opt-in online survey of 100 US adults with self-reported concussion history was analyzed descriptively. Results: Ninety-one percent endorsed avoiding same-day return after suspected concussion, and 81% would not allow a child to continue immediately after a "mild" concussion. Among the 91 endorsing no same-day return, 9 would allow immediate continuation, 7 selected sport-dependent participation, and 2 were unsure. Medical clearance was supported by 88% on an agreement item, whereas 77% selected clearance after every concussion on a separate question. Conclusions: Responses varied across differently worded safety questions; they do not establish actual behavior or national prevalence. Practical Applications: Education could distinguish immediate removal from later graduated return and explicitly address injuries described as mild. These descriptive findings support testing such messages, rather than demonstrating their effectiveness.
