[Predictors of the duration of post-traumatic amnesia following traumatic brain injury].
Article in Revista de neurologia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionThe duration of post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) helps estimate the level of recovery following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Yet, little information is available about which sociodemographic and clinical variables influence its duration. This study aims to identify them and create a predictive model that makes it possible to estimate the time it takes for a patient to emerge from PTA. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe sample consisted of 40 adult patients with PTA admitted to a neurorehabilitation centre. A total of 89.7% had suffered a severe TBI, whereas the remaining 10.3% had had a moderate TBI. Cognitive status was assessed using the Galveston Orientation and Amnesia Test (GOAT) - a scale for determining at what point a patient can be considered to be emerging from PTA.
resultsA regression equation was found (F = 8.511; p < 0.001; R2 = 0.415), in which the following variables (ranked in order of importance) explained 41.5% of the variability observed in the duration of PTA: a) GOAT administered on arrival at the neurorehabilitation centre; b) years of formal education of the patient; and c) days with PTA prior to admission to the neurorehabilitation centre. The equation derived was as follows: 104.284 + (-0.708 x GOAT-initial) + (-4.124 x years formal education) + (0.219 x hospital acute-APT).
conclusionsThe time it takes for a patient to emerge from PTA is conditioned by the score obtained in the first GOAT administered on admission to the neurorehabilitation centre, their level of education, and the number of days elapsed with PTA between occurrence of the TBI and admission to the neurorehabilitation centre.
