Minor Head Injury Symptoms and Recovery From Whiplash Injury: A 1-Year Prospective Study.
Article in Rehabilitation process and outcome, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
aimTo examine concussion-related disability in neck injuries, the Rivermead Head Injury Follow-Up Questionnaire (RHFUQ) was applied. Furthermore, we wanted to investigate symptoms found in post-concussion syndrome (PCS) and global pain, neck pain intensities obtained from acute whiplash patients within 1 week and at 6 months after injury in a prospective study on 1-year work disability.
methodsA total of 143 consecutive acute whiplash-injured patients were admitted to the study from the Emergency Unit (Aarhus University Hospital). Patients with direct head trauma or reported retro- or anterograde amnesia were excluded from the study. Average neck pain and global pain intensity were measured on a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS 0-10). The RHFUQ (10 items, score from 0 to 4, total score from 0 to 40) was fulfilled after 1 week and 6 months. Patients underwent neurological examination within 1 week after injury. Recovery (return to work) was assessed 1 year post-injury.
resultsIn total, 97% completed the study, and 9% (12/138) did not recover. Non-recovered patients reported more neck pain and global pain after 1 week (
conclusionsRHFUQ is useful in acute whiplash patients for predicting 1-year work disability. PCS-related symptoms along with neck pain and global pain are more burdensome in the non-recovered group. This emphasizes that post-concussion symptoms are not a sign of brain injury alone, but are found in other types of mishaps like whiplash injuries.
