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
Background: Sports-related concussions are a public health crisis of serious concern among youth athletes. Loss of consciousness (LOC) is a particularly concerning sequela of concussions, causing detrimental long-term effects. Purpose: To utilize National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) data from 2014 to 2023 to track the incidence of LOC and concussions in youth athletes ages 4 to 13 years in the United States. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods: NEISS search criteria were entered filtering all concussions and LOC in children ages 4 to 13 years from the years 2014 to 2023 who were filed under the sport tags of football, basketball, baseball, softball, soccer, gymnastics, hockey, wrestling, and lacrosse. Linear regression, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and proportion tests were utilized. Results: In total, 554 (6.30% of 8828) concussions resulted in LOC in the entire 2014-2023 cohort (excluding 2020-2021). The frequency of players experiencing LOC from 2014 to 2023 showed an overall downward trend, with a trendline Conclusion: The results of this study show a decrease in the overall level of LOC incidence in US youth athletes ages 4 to 13 years from 2014 to 2023 across 8 sports. The data delineate from previous studies that show an exponential increase in LOC incidence; however, the underlying reasons are still unclear and warrant further investigation. Further investigation into the reasoning behind these epidemiological trends could help build an understanding of these findings and reduce the injury burden on youth athletes.
