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 (TBI) is one of the leading cause of death and long-term disability in virtually every country. Advances in neurointensive care have resulted in steadily decreasing morbidity, but the number of individuals with severe long-term disability have not changed significantly and the number of moderate disability has shown steady increase over the last 3 decades. Despite years of intensive preclinical research - and millions spent - there are virtually no drugs specifically developed to mitigate the consequences of TBI. Here we discuss some of the existing gaps between clinical and experimental TBI studies that may have contributed to the current status. We do this hoping that clinical, basic, and translational scientists will design and coordinate studies in order to achieve maximum benefits for TBI patients. In conclusion, we suggest to: (1) Develop consensus-based guidelines for experimental TBI research, similar to "best practices" in the clinic; (2) Generate a consensus-based template for clinical data collection and deposition as well as for experimental TBI data collection and deposition; (3) Use a systems biology approach and create a database for integrating existing data from basic and clinical research.
