Epidemiological Trends and Rehabilitation Utilization of Traumatic Brain Injury in Korea (2008-2018).
Article in Brain & NeuroRehabilitation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
This study aimed to estimate the trend of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and TBI-related medical usage in Korea. Patients first diagnosed with disease codes of TBIs were included. We calculated the crude incidence and age-adjusted incidence, as well as medical cost, length of stay (LOS), clinic visits, and the number of specialized rehabilitation therapy for 1 year. Patients first diagnosed as TBI was higher in national health insurance (NH-I) than in automobile insurance (AUTO-I). In contrast with the gradual decrease of the crude incidence, total medical costs both in NH-I and AUTO-I were generally and steadily increased. For oriental medicine, total medical costs dramatically increased in both inpatient and outpatient. LOS, clinic visits, and the number of specialized rehabilitation therapy were higher in AUTO-I than in NH-I. The most frequent age groups in NH-I were the young (0-9) and old (70 or over), whereas in AUTO-I, the working age group was prominent. Our results show differences in the incidence of TBI and medical usage between NH-I and AUTO-I, which could be associated with the policy for strengthening health insurance coverage, automobile-related regulations to prevent accidents and injuries, as well as rapid changes in the structure of the population in Korea.
