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.

Abstract

The main advantage of diffusion tensor tractography is that it allows the entire neural tract to be evaluated. In addition, configurational analysis of reconstructed neural tracts can indicate abnormalities such as tearing, narrowing, or discontinuations, which have been used to identify axonal injury of neural tracts in concussion patients. This review focuses on the characteristic features of axonal injury in concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) patients through the use of diffusion tensor tractography. Axonal injury in concussion (mTBI) patients is characterized by their occurrence in long neural tracts and multiple injuries, and these characteristics are common in patients with diffuse axonal injury and in concussion (mTBI) patients with axonal injury. However, the discontinuation of the corticospinal tract is mostly observed in diffuse axonal injury, and partial tearing and narrowing in the subcortical white matter are frequently observed in concussion (mTBI) patients with axonal injury. This difference appears to be attributed to the observation that axonal injury in concussion (mTBI) patients is the result of weaker forces than those producing diffuse axonal injuries. In addition, regarding the fornix, in diffuse axonal injury, discontinuation of the fornical crus has been frequently reported, but in concussion (mTBI) patients, many collateral branches form in the fornix in addition to these findings in many case studies. It is presumed that the impact on the brain in TBI is relatively weaker than that in diffuse axonal injury, and that the formation of collateral branches occurs during the fornix recovery process. Although the occurrence of axonal injury in multiple areas of the brain is an important feature of diffuse axonal injury, case studies in concussion (mTBI) have shown that axonal injury occurs in multiple neural tracts. Because axonal injury lesions in mTBI patients may persist for approximately 10 years after injury onset, the characteristics of axonal injury in concussion (mTBI) patients, which are reviewed and categorized in this review, are expected to serve as useful supplementary information in the diagnosis of axonal injury in concussion (mTBI) patients.
