Comparison of self-reported lifetime concussions and mild traumatic brain injuries among adults.
Article in Brain injury, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
introductionThe reliability of self-reported brain injury data relies on how well people interpret the questions.
objectiveThis study examines how different yet commonly used questions may impact traumatic brain injury (TBI) estimates.
methodsSelf-report data were collected from 4,053 respondents in the summer wave of Porter Novelli's 2020 ConsumerStyles survey. Respondents were randomized to be asked about lifetime experience of either concussion or mild TBI (mTBI) and then asked follow-up questions.
resultsApproximately 25.5% of respondents reported sustaining a concussion in their lifetime while 17.2% reported an mTBI. The circumstances of the injuries, such as location and mechanism of injury, were similar. A greater percentage of individuals who were asked about concussions (91.1%) reported receiving a diagnosis for their most serious injury compared to those who were asked about diagnosis of an mTBI (69.9%). DISCUSSION: A greater percentage of respondents reported a lifetime history of concussion than mTBI. More respondents with a lifetime history of concussion reported receiving a diagnosis. These results suggest that the terminology used can impact reporting. These findings suggest that there is a meaningful difference in the understanding of the terms 'concussion' and 'mild TBI,' with people perceiving mTBI as a more serious injury.
