The Time-Related Trends in the Presenting of Traumatic Head Injury in a Single Institution.
Article in Korean journal of neurotrauma, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveIt is important to know the epidemiologic aspects of traumatic brain injury (TBI) for its rapid detection, appropriate treatment, and prevention. The purpose of this study is to classify the time of arrival of patients in the emergency room (ER) by time of day, day of the week, month, and season, and to analyze the relationship between the frequency of presentation at different times and TBI.
methodsThe time of arrival of 327 patients with TBI between January 2016 to December 2017 at the ER was analyzed retrospectively. The trends regarding the frequency of presentation of patients with TBI were analyzed in relation to arrival time at the ER.
resultsPatients with TBI were found to have the greatest number of hospitalizations at 13:00-18:00, on Saturdays, in December, and during the summer. Surgical treatment was not related to the temporal pattern of TBI patient admission. Patients with TBI in the severe group (GCS score <8) arrived at the ER mainly at 07:00-12:00 (
conclusionIt is worthwhile understanding the temporal trends of TBI patients. These data may provide useful information in predicting the ER visits of TBI patients in advance and preparing for prompt and appropriate treatment.
