Discourse recovery after severe traumatic brain injury: exploring the first year.
Article in Brain injury, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 4 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
objectivesAlthough much is known about discourse impairment, little is known about discourse recovery after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). This paper explores discourse recovery across the critical first year, controlling for pre-injury, injury and post-injury variables. DESIGN AND
methodsAn inception cohort comprising 57 participants with severe TBI was examined at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months post-injury and compared to a cross-section of matched healthy control participants. A narrative discourse task was analyzed with main concept analysis (MCA). A mixed linear model approach was used to track recovery controlling for pre-injury, injury and post-injury variables.
resultsAn upward trajectory of recovery was observed, with peak periods of improvement between 3-6 and 9-12 months and all time points were significantly below controls. Years of education and PTA duration were significant covariates in the recovery model. Presence of aphasia also influenced the recovery model.
conclusionsIndividuals with TBI typically improve over the first year, however many will continue to have discourse deficits at 12 months. Years of education, PTA duration and aphasia should be considered when planning services. The 3-6- and 9-12-month periods may offer optimal periods for discourse recovery and increased supports may be beneficial between 6-9 months.
