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

Traumatic Brain Injury is the leading cause of death and disability among young individuals in our society. Moreover, according to some epidemiological studies, head trauma is one of the most potent environmental risk factors for subsequent development of Alzheimer's disease. Interestingly, pathological features that are present also in Alzheimer's disease (in particular deposition of beta-amyloid protein) were observed in traumatised brains already a few hours after the initial insult. The primary objective of this review is to present methodology and results of numerous recent human and animal studies dealing with this issue. Special emphasis was placed on head trauma experiments in transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. We further evaluate the connection between traumatic brain insults and subsequent development of dementia and try to differentiate between primary and secondary pathological mechanisms.
