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

objectiveTo estimate the relative frequency and relative risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) attributed to traumatic brain injury (TBI). DATA SOURCES: PubMed and Embase were searched from database inception until January 26, 2019. STUDY SELECTION: Two independent investigators screened titles, abstracts, and full texts. We selected studies that included subjects presenting with TBI, and where the number of subjects with TBI and PTSD could be extrapolated. There were no restrictions on study design. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: Data were extracted by two independent investigators and results were pooled using random-effects meta-analysis.

resultsIn civilian populations, relative frequency of PTSD following TBI was 12.2% after 3 months (CI-95 (7.6 to 16.8%) I CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: TBI is a risk factor for PTSD in clinic-based civilian populations. There are insufficient data to assess the relative frequency or relative risk of PTSD in moderate to severe TBI. Due to significant between-study heterogeneity, the findings of our study should be interpreted with caution.
