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

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause progressive neurodegeneration, sustained neuroinflammation and chronic neurological dysfunction. Few experimental studies have explored the long-term neurobehavioral and functional cellular changes beyond several months. The present study examined the effects of a single moderate-level TBI on functional outcome 8 months after injury. Male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to controlled cortical impact injury and followed for changes in motor performance, learning and memory, as well as depressive-like and social behavior. We also used a novel flow cytometry approach to assess cellular functions in freshly isolated neurons and microglia from the injured tissue. There were marked and diverse, sustained neurobehavioral changes in injured mice. Compared to sham controls, chronic TBI mice showed long-term deficits in gait dynamics, nest building, spatial working memory and recognition memory. The tail suspension, forced swim, and sucrose consumption tests showed a marked depressive-like phenotype that was associated with impaired sociability. At the cellular level, there were lower numbers of Thy1
