Behavioral Health Service Utilization and Unmet Need After Traumatic Brain Injury in Childhood.
Article in Journal of developmental and behavioral pediatrics : JDBP. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveThe need for behavioral health services, service utilization, and predictors of utilization was examined in children with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) relative to a comparison group of children with orthopedic injury (OI) 6.8 years after injury.
methodsA total of 130 children hospitalized for moderate-to-severe TBI (16 severe and 42 moderate) or OI (72) between the ages of 3 and 7 years, who were enrolled at the time of injury at 3 tertiary care children's hospital and one general hospital in Ohio, and completed a long-term follow-up 6.8 years after injury were included in analyses.
resultsAdolescents with TBI (moderate [38%] and severe [69%]) had significantly greater rates of need than those with OI (17%). Behavioral health services were utilized by 10% of the sample with no injury group differences (OI: 6%; moderate: 17%; severe: 13%). Early treatment and white race were associated with less service utilization; 77% had an unmet need, with no injury group differences (OI: 75%; moderate: 75%; severe: 82%). Rate of unmet need was greater among white than non-white children.
conclusionChildren who sustain a TBI in early childhood experience persistent and clinically significant impairments even years after injury. Rates of unmet need were high for all injury groups. Findings underscore the importance of long-term monitoring to identify developing needs and prevent significant complications/deficits.
