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

Concussions are difficult to diagnose and symptoms may not appear immediately. As an accurate initial diagnosis has profound implications for the clinical management, there is an unmet need for better diagnostic tools. Fluid biomarkers for CNS injury may represent such tools. These markers are often proteins, peptides or other molecules with selective or high expression in the brain, which can be measured in the cerebrospinal fluid or blood as they leak out or get secreted into the biofluid in response to the injury. Here, we review the literature on fluid markers of neuronal, axonal and astroglial injury and response mechanisms to diagnose CNS injury upon head impact and to determine when the injurious process has resolved.
