Unmet Rehabilitation Needs After Hospitalization for Traumatic Brain Injury.
Article in Pediatrics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectivesIn this study, we describe unmet service needs of children hospitalized for traumatic brain injury (TBI) during the first 2 years after injury and examine associations between child, family, and injury-related characteristics and unmet needs in 6 domains (physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, mental health services, educational services, and physiatry).
methodsProspective cohort study of children age 8 to 18 years old admitted to 6 hospitals with complicated mild or moderate to severe TBI. Service need was based on dysfunction identified via parent-report compared with retrospective baseline at 6, 12, and 24 months. Needs were considered unmet if the child had no therapy services in the previous 4 weeks, no physiatry services since the previous assessment, or no educational services since injury. Analyses were used to compare met and unmet needs for each domain and time point. Generalized multinomial logit models with robust SEs were used to assess factors associated with change in need from pre-injury baseline to each study time point.
resultsUnmet need varied by injury severity, time since injury, and service domain. Unmet need was highest for physiatry, educational services, and speech therapy. Among children with service needs, increased time after TBI and complicated mild TBI were associated with a higher likelihood of unmet rather than met service needs.
conclusionsChildren hospitalized for TBI have persistent dysfunction with unmet needs across multiple domains. After initial hospitalization, children with TBI should be monitored for functional impairments to improve identification and fulfillment of service needs.
