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) affects millions of Americans each year, with extremely high prevalence in the Veteran community, and sleep disturbance is one of the most commonly reported symptoms. Reduction in the quality and amount of sleep can negatively impact recovery and result in a wide range of behavioral and physiological symptoms, such as impaired cognition, mood and anxiety disorders, and cardiovascular effects. Thus, to improve long-term patient outcomes and develop novel treatments, it is essential to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in sleep disturbance following TBI. In this effort, we performed transcriptional profiling in an established rodent model of penetrating ballistic brain injury (PBBI) in conjunction with continuous sleep/wake EEG/EMG recording of the first 24 h after injury. Rats subjected to PBBI showed profound differences in sleep architecture. Injured animals spent significantly more time in slow wave sleep and less time in REM sleep compared to sham control animals. To identify PBBI-related transcriptional differences, we then performed transcriptome-wide gene expression profiling at 24 h post-injury, which identified a vast array of immune- related genes differentially expressed in the injured cortex as well as sleep-related genes. Further, transcriptional changes associated with total time spent in various sleep stages were identified. Such molecular changes may underlie the pathology and symptoms that emerge following TBI, including neurodegeneration, sleep disturbance, and mood disorders.
