Factors Influencing Primary Care Follow-Up After Pediatric Mild Traumatic Brain Injury.
Article in The Journal of head trauma rehabilitation. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo identify socioeconomic, demographic, and caregiver factors associated with children attending primary care provider (PCP) follow-up after emergency department (ED) evaluation for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).
settingPediatric trauma center ED.
participantsChildren 8 to 18 years of age sustaining mTBI less than 48 hours prior to an ED visit. Mean age of the 183 participants was 12 years with no significant differences between those who attended follow-up and those who did not in race, ethnicity, insurance provider, or PCP office setting.
designThirty-day longitudinal cohort study. MAIN MEASURES: Insurance type, PCP practice setting, and a caregiver attitudes survey regarding mTBI recovery and management (5 questions each scored on a 5-point Likert scale). The primary outcome was attending a PCP follow-up visit within 1 month of injury.
resultsFemales were more likely than males to attend PCP follow-up (adjusted odds ratio: 2.27 [95% confidence interval: 1.00-5.18]). Increasing scores on the caregiver attitudes survey indicating greater concerns about recovery were significantly associated with attending PCP follow-up (adjusted odds ratio: 1.12 per unit increase in composite score [95% confidence interval: 1.02-1.23]). No other socioeconomic, demographic, or injury characteristics were associated with attending PCP follow-up.
conclusionsThe ED counseling regarding PCP follow-up of mTBI should stress the importance of follow-up care to monitor recovery and identify presence of lingering symptoms.
