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

Although cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are frequently associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI), their effects on clinical outcome after TBI remain controversial and poorly understood, particularly in older adults. Here we (1) highlight major challenges and opportunities associated with studying the effects of TBI-mediated CMBs; (2) review the evidence on their potential effects on cognitive and neural outcome as a function of age at injury; and (3) suggest priorities for future research on understanding the clinical implications of CMBs. Although TBI-mediated CMBs are likely distinct from those due to cerebral amyloid angiopathy or other neurodegenerative diseases, the effects of these 2 CMB types on brain function may share common features. Furthermore, in older TBI victims, the incidence of TBI-mediated CMBs may approximate that of cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related CMBs, and thus warrants detailed study. Because the alterations effected by CMBs on brain structure and function are both unique and age-dependent, it seems likely that novel, age-tailored therapeutic approaches are necessary for the adequate clinical interpretation and treatment of these ubiquitous and underappreciated TBI sequelae.
