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

purposeAs the most abundant neuropeptides in Central Nervous System, Substance P and Neuropeptide Y are arguably involved in the response to brain trauma. This study aims to characterize a new concept of multi-staged neuropeptide response to TBI.

methodsThis study assessed Substance P, Neuropeptide Y, S100B, standard inflammatory parameters and ionic disturbance in TBI victims, with and without intracranial lesions, and healthy controls. In the group with intracranial lesions, blood samples were drawn until 6 h after initial trauma, at 48 h and 7 days post-TBI.

resultsAn early increase in Substance P (mean 613.463 ± 49.055 SE 6 h post-TBI with brain contusions vs. 441.441 ± 22.572 SE pg/dL control group) is evident. Concerning TBI without intraparenchymatous lesions, an increase in substance P is also present (825.60 ± 23.690 SE pg/dL). Following an initial increase and subsequent fall in NPY levels (45.997 ± 4.96 SE 6 h post-TBI vs. 32.395 ± 4.056 SE 48 h post-TBI vs. 19.700 ± 1.462 SE pg/mL control group), a late increase in NPY is obvious (43.268 ± 6.260 SE pg/mL 7 day post-TBI). Post-traumatic hypomagnesemia (0.754 ± 0.015 SE 6 h post-TBI vs. 0.897 ± 0.021 SE mmol/L control group) and a peak in S100B (95.668 ± 14.102 SE 6 h post-TBI vs. 30.187 ± 3.347 SE pg/mL control group) are also present.

conclusionA multi-staged neuropeptide response to TBI is obvious and represents a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of intraparenchymal lesions and cerebral edema following TBI.
