Traumatic Brain Injury-Related Emergency Department Visits Among American Indian and Alaska Native Persons-National Patient Information Reporting System, 2005-2014.

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 American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) population has a disproportionately high rate of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). However, there is little known about incidence and common mechanisms of injury among AI/AN persons who seek care in an Indian Health Service (IHS) or tribally managed facility.
methodsUsing the IHS National Patient Information Reporting System, we assessed the incidence of TBI-related emergency department visits among AI/AN children and adults seen in IHS or tribally managed facilities over a 10-year period (2005-2014).
resultsThere were 44 918 TBI-related emergency department visits during the study period. Males and persons aged 18 to 34 years and 75 years and older had the highest rates of TBI-related emergency department visits. Unintentional falls and assaults contributed to the highest number and proportion of TBI-related emergency department visits. The number and age-adjusted rate of emergency department visits for TBI were highest among persons living in the Southwest and Northern Plains when compared with other IHS regions.
conclusionThousands of AI/AN children and adults are seen each year in emergency departments for TBI and the numbers increased over the 10-year period examined. Evidence-based interventions to prevent TBI-related emergency department visits, such as programs to reduce the risk for older adult falls and assault, are warranted.
