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

introductionImaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis, prognosis and follow-up of traumatic brain injury. Whereas computed tomography plays a pivotal role in the acute setting, magnetic resonance imaging is best suited to detect the true extent of traumatic brain injury, and more specifically diffuse axonal injury. Post-traumatic brain atrophy is a well-known complication of traumatic brain injury. PURPOSE: This study investigated the correlation between diffuse axonal injury detected with fluid-attenuated inversion recovery and susceptibility-weighted imaging magnetic resonance imaging, post-traumatic brain atrophy and functional outcome (Glasgow outcome scale - extended). MATERIALS AND

methodsTwenty patients with a closed head injury and diffuse axonal injury detected with fluid-attenuated inversion recovery and susceptibility-weighted imaging were included. The total volumes of the diffuse axonal injury fluid-attenuated inversion recovery lesions were determined for each subject's initial (<14 days) and follow-up magnetic resonance scan (average: day 303 ± 83 standard deviation). The different brain volumes were automatically quantified using a validated and both US Food and Drug Administration-cleared and CE-marked machine learning algorithm (icobrain). The number of susceptibility-weighted imaging lesions and functional outcome scores (Glasgow outcome scale - extended) were retrieved from the Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research Traumatic Brain Injury dataset.

resultsThe volumetric fluid-attenuated inversion recovery diffuse axonal injury lesion load showed a significant inverse correlation with functional outcome (Glasgow outcome scale - extended) (

conclusionsVolumetric analysis of diffuse axonal injury on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging and automated brain atrophy calculation are potentially useful tools in the clinical management and follow-up of traumatic brain injury patients with diffuse axonal injury.
