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) remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. A major focus of preclinical research has focused on understanding the mechanisms of acute cell death after TBI; however, translation of these findings into the clinic has failed to improve long-term patient outcomes. Recent work suggests astrocytes, the predominant cell type within the human brain, may actively contribute to neurological demise by exacerbating secondary brain injury after TBI. Along these lines, astrocytes may promote neuroinflammation, increase the development of cerebral edema, and contribute to elevated intracranial pressure after brain injury. The primary goal of this mini-review is to summarize the growing body of literature that suggests reactive astrocytes influence the brain response to TBI. To maintain focus, we will limit our discussion to the mechanisms of cerebral edema.
