Long-term outcome following blunt cerebrovascular injuries: occurrence of ischemic complications, treatment, and outcome.

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
purposeBlunt cerebrovascular injuries (BCVI) are a rare but serious complication after trauma. Among patients with BCVI, neurological status is altered in 30% of cases and the prognosis seems to be associated with ischemic complications. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term outcome of BCVI-associated ischemic events.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study (2011-2017) included all patients admitted for severe trauma with identified BCVI in two level-1 trauma centers. Patients were considered to have a poor neurological outcome with a GOS-E between 2 and 5 and a good neurological outcome with GOS-E between 6 and 8. A multivariate logistic regression identified risk factors for poor neurological outcome at 1 year.
resultsOf the 6,294 patients admitted in both trauma centers between 2011 and 2017, 81 patients presenting BCVI were identified (incidence of 1.3%). The median age was 35 years (24-44) with a median Injury Severity Score of 28 (17-41). 29 patients (50%) had a good neurological prognosis, while 25 patients (43%) had a poor neurological prognosis at 1 year. Ischemic stroke occurred in 11 patients (13.6%) within a median time of 2 days (2-2.5). No ischemic stroke occurred in the first year after ICU discharge in both groups. In our study, good prognosis at 1 year was not associated with ischemic complications [3 (10) vs 3 (12) p = 1].
conclusionIschemic complications after BCVI are rare, occur within the first week and do not seem to impact independently the 1-year neurological prognosis.
