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) has a long-lasting impact on participation and health-related quality of life (HRQL). We aimed to describe the physical and mental health trajectories and to identify their predictors across the first 10 years after TBI. A prospective longitudinal cohort of 97 individuals with moderate to severe TBI (age 16-55 years) in Norway were followed up at 1, 2, 5, and 10 years post-injury. Their socio-demographic and injury characteristics were recorded at baseline; their responses to the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) were collected at each follow-up. The Physical (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores were used as the outcome measures of physical and mental health. The predictors of the trajectories were described and examined using hierarchical linear modelling. The subscale scores showed a stable or increasing trend, but only the Role Physical and Role Emotional subscales showed clinically relevant positive changes from 1 to 10 years post-injury. Longer time, male gender, employment pre-injury, and shorter length of post-traumatic amnesia were significant predictors of better physical health trajectories; longer time, male gender, and employment pre-injury were significant predictors of better mental health trajectories. At-risk individuals may be targeted to receive rehabilitation interventions to improve their long-term quality of life outcomes.
