1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundRecent studies suggest that acquired brain injury with impaired consciousness in infancy is related to more severe and persistent effects and may have a cumulative effect on ongoing development. In this work, we aim to describe vocational outcome in a group of patients at 15 years from a severe brain lesion they suffered in developmental age.

methodsThis study included a total of 147 patients aged 1.5 to 14 years with acquired brain lesion. Clinical and functional details ("Glasgow Outcome Scale", "Functional Independent Measure" and Intelligence Quotient) were collected at the time of their first hospitalization and vocational outcome was determined after 15 years.

results94 patients (63.9%) presented with traumatic brain injury, while 53 patients (36.1%) presented with a brain lesion of other origin. Traumatic patients had a higher probability of being partly or fully productive than non-traumatic ones: 75.5% of traumatic subjects were working-taking into account limitations due to the traumatic event-versus 62.3% of non-traumatic ones. A relationship between some clinical variables and the vocational outcome was found.

conclusionsRehabilitation should adequately emphasize "vocational rehabilitation" because a significant proportion of people experiencing a disorder of consciousness in childhood may show good social integration in adult age.
