Group-Based Patterns of Life Satisfaction and Functional Independence over the 10 Years after Traumatic Brain Injury in Older Adults: A Model Systems Study.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2023. 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
backgroundOlder adults who sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) have been shown to have reduced functional independence and life satisfaction relative to younger individuals with TBI. The purpose of this study was to examine the covarying patterns of functional independence and life satisfaction over the 10 years after TBI in adults who were 60 years of age or older upon injury.
methodParticipants were 1841 individuals aged 60 or older at the time of TBI, were enrolled in the longitudinal TBI Model Systems database, and had Functional Independence Measure and Satisfaction with Life Scale scores during at least one time point at 1, 2, 5, and 10 years after TBI.
resultsA
conclusionFunctional independence and life satisfaction generally accompany one another over time in older adults, although this does not always occur, as life satisfaction can still be low in a subgroup of older individuals after TBI with higher functioning. These findings contribute to a better understanding of post-TBI recovery patterns in older adults over time that may inform treatment considerations to improve age-related discrepancies in rehabilitation outcomes.
