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

contextSex differences influence symptom presentations after sport-related concussion and may be a risk factor for certain concussion clinical profiles.

objectiveTo examine sex differences on the Concussion Clinical Profile Screen (CP Screen) in adolescents after sport-related concussion.

designCross-sectional study.

settingA concussion specialty clinic. PATIENTS OR OTHER

participantsA total of 276 adolescent (age = 15.02 ± 1.43 years; girls = 152 [55%]) athletes with a recently diagnosed concussion (≤30 days). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): The 5 CP Screen profiles (anxiety mood, cognitive fatigue, migraine, vestibular, ocular) and 2 modifiers (neck, sleep), symptom total, and symptom severity scores were compared using a series of Mann-Whitney U tests between boys and girls.

resultsGirls (n = 152) scored higher than boys (n = 124) on the cognitive fatigue (U = 7160.50, z = -3.46, P = .001) and anxiety mood (U = 7059, z = -3.62, P < .001) factors but not on the migraine (U = 7768, z = -2.52, P = .01) factor. Girls also endorsed a greater number of symptoms (n = 124; U = 27233, z = -3.33, P = .001) and scored higher in symptom severity (U = 7049, z = -3.60, P < .001) than boys.

conclusionsAmong adolescents, symptom endorsement on the CP Screen varied based on sex, and clinicians need to be aware of these differences, especially when evaluating postconcussion presentation in the absence of baseline data.
