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

purposeThe aim of the study is to characterize changes in circulating proteasome (c-proteasome) activity following mild traumatic brain injury in children.

methodsFifty children managed at the Department of Pediatric Surgery because of concussion-mild head injury was randomly included into the study. The children were aged 11 months to 17 years (median = 10.07 + -1.91 years). Plasma proteasome activity was assessed using Suc-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-AMC peptide substrate, 2-6 h, 12-16 h, and 2 days after injury. Twenty healthy children admitted for planned inguinal hernia repair served as controls.

resultsStatistically significant elevation of plasma c-proteasome activity was noted in children with mild head injury 2-6 h, 12-16 h, and 2 days after the injury.

conclusionsAuthors observed a statistically significant upward trend in the c-proteasome activity between 2-6 and 12-16 h after the mild head injury, consistent with the onset of the symptoms of cerebral concussion and a downward trend in the c-proteasome activity in the plasma of children with mild head injury between 12-16 h and on the second day after the injury, consistent with the resolving of the symptoms of cerebral concussion. Further studies are needed to demonstrate that the proteasome activity could be a prognostic factor, which can help in further diagnostic and therapeutic decisions in patients with head injury.
