Traumatic Brain Injury among Patients Admitted in Neurosurgical Unit in a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06264518 (Exploration of Traumatic Brain Injury Clinical Trials), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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.

Abstract
Introduction: Traumatic brain injuries are one of the leading causes of mortality, morbidity, and economic burden in context to Nepal. Non-contrast computed tomography is used for rapid diagnosis and repeat computed tomography helps to detect the progression and complications of cerebral injury. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of traumatic brain injury among patients admitted in the neurosurgical unit in a tertiary care centre. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among patients admitted to the neurosurgery unit in the tertiary care centre from 1 August 2019 to 29 August 2020. Ethical approval was taken from Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: CMC-IRC/075/076-156). Convenience sampling method was used. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated. Results: Among 350 patients admitted in the neurosurgical unit, the prevalence of traumatic brain injury was 140 (40%) (34.87-45.13, 95% Confidence Interval). Change in management was required among 28 (20%) when computed tomography was done within 12-24 hours. Among them, 27 (19.29%) underwent surgical intervention after a repeat computed tomography scan. Conclusions: The prevalence of traumatic brain injury was found to be higher than similar studies done in similar settings. Keywords: contusion; craniotomy; traumatic brain injury.
