A Configurational Analysis of Risk Patterns for Predicting the Outcome After Traumatic Brain Injury.

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
Exploring relationships between admission variables and outcome using regression models has been the focus of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) research. Although practical and well established, these approaches do not evaluate interactions between predictors. We therefore applied a set-theoretic logical analysis to the Corticosteroid Randomization after Significant Head Injury (CRASH) trial database. Complete data analysis of 6945 patients demonstrated 9 different configurations of admission variables were sufficient for favorable outcome in 87.5% of all cases and explained 57% of favorable outcomes (moderate disability or good outcome). We also evaluated the contrasting configurations for unfavorable versus favorable outcome. Results are largely in line with findings of previous studies however the influence of age fell behind GCS components, which is unexpected. Specifying a combination of admission parameters that are likely to translate into a given clinical outcome is appealing from a clinician's perspective therefore our results have considerable translational value.
