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

Concurrent mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are common in U.S. military service members and veterans. Tau and amyloid-beta-42 (Aβ42) are proteins that have been linked to cognitive impairment, neurological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease, and may also relate to recovery from mTBI. However, the role of these proteins in the maintenance or resolution of chronic symptoms has not yet been determined. Participants in the current study were 102 service members and veterans who had sustained an mTBI (n = 84) or injured controls (IC) without TBI (n = 18). They were categorized into three groups based on the presence or absence of mTBI and PTSD: IC/PTSD-Absent (n = 18), mTBI/PTSD-Absent (n = 63), and mTBI/PTSD-Present (n = 21). Concentrations of tau and Aβ42 in peripheral blood plasma were measured using Simoa
