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

objectiveTo examine the GFAP and S100B ability in prevention unnecessary brain Computed tomography (CT) scan in mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and compare them with the single extremity fracture in orthopedic patients.

methodsIn this prospective cohort study, two orthopedics patients' groups and mTBI patients were studied to assess the biomarkers' ability in prevention unnecessary brain CT scan at the emergency setting. There were 40 orthopedics' patients with single extremity fracture and 41 mTBI patients. Brain CT scans were done for all mTBI patients.

resultsBrain CT scans showed no intracranial traumatic lesions. The median levels for S100B in the mTBI group was 14.8 (4.4-335.9) ng/L, and in orthopedic patients' group was 13.3 (5-353.10) ng/L. Statistically significant differences were observed between both groups in S100B levels (

conclusionOur results showed that S100B and GFAP serum levels were significantly higher in patients with mTBI than in patients with a single limb fracture.
