Early changes in cerebral autoregulation among youth hospitalized after sports-related traumatic brain injury.
Article in Brain injury, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
objectiveTo examine early cerebral haemodynamic changes among youth hospitalized with sports-related traumatic brain injury (TBI). STUDY
designYouth 0-18 years admitted to a level one trauma centre with sports-related TBI were enrolled. Daily measures included clinical symptoms and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score. Using Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography and tilt testing, we measured middle cerebral artery flow velocity (Vmca) and cerebral autoregulation index (ARI).
resultsSix previously healthy males age 14 (IQR 12-16) years with headache and abnormal head CT were admitted with median admission GCS 15. Six patients underwent 12 TCD examinations between hospital days 0-9. Low Vmca occurred in 3/6 patients and on the side of TBI, whereas high Vmca occurred in 2/6 patients. Five patients had at least one measurement of impaired and five patients had absent cerebral autoregulation of at least one hemisphere; all these five patients had GCS 15 and headache during TCD examinations. Three patients were discharged with absent cerebral autoregulation. Five (83%) patients were discharged to home and one patient was discharged to a rehabilitation facility.
conclusionHeadache, abnormal Vmca and impaired cerebral autoregulation occur after sports-related TBI, despite normal GCS. Headache may signal underlying neurovascular abnormality in sports-related TBI.
