Morbidity Audit of 704 Traumatic Brain Injury Cases in a Dedicated South Indian Trauma Center.
Article in Asian journal of neurosurgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundIn the era of evidence-based health care, protocol of intervention in traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases help decide more easily and safely about patients and prevent unnecessary transfer of patients to other centers.
objectivesThe objective of this study is to provide protocol-based intervention and evaluate the epidemiological, clinical characteristics of TBI cases.
methodsThis prospective study was conducted on 704 patients who were suspected of TBI at the Department of Neurosurgery, Narayana Medical College and Hospital, followed by protocol-based intervention assessed and reassessed repeatedly.
resultsOverall, TBI involved 569 (80.82%) adults in the productive age groups (21-60 years); among males 81.47%. Among males, highest (23.15%) cases were in the age group of 31-40 years while in females, majority (27.04%) was among 41-50 years. Road traffic accidents were the most common (54.12%) mechanism of injury followed by fall (21.31%) and two-wheelers (15.20%). More than half sustained mild TBI (51.42%) while 26.28% moderate TBI and 22.30% severe TBI; among males, severe TBI victims 102 (18.82%) were in the productive age group. Loss of consciousness was almost a universal and significant observation (95.45%); vomiting was next common finding (76.42%). Bleeding from the ear-nose-throat (ENT) region was more in males (33.58%) than females (20.75%). Glasgow coma scale was significantly related with loss of consciousness (91.08%), vomiting (63.06%), and ENT bleeding (44.59%) in severe, moderate, and mild injuries.
conclusionA rational clinical acumen with judicious use of diagnostic protocol leads to better management of TBI without unnecessary imaging and thus reduce total health-care costs.
