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

The use of animal models in pre-clinical research has significantly broadened our understanding of the pathologies that underlie traumatic brain injury (TBI)-induced damage and deficits. However, despite numerous pre-clinical studies reporting the identification of promising neurotherapeutics, translation of these therapies to clinical application has so far eluded the TBI research field. A concerted effort to address this lack of translatability is long overdue. Given the inherent heterogeneity of TBI and the replication crisis that continues to plague biomedical research, this is a complex task that will require a multifaceted approach centered around rigor and reproducibility. Here, we discuss the role of three primary focus areas for better aligning pre-clinical research with clinical TBI management. These focus areas are (1) reporting and standardization of protocols, (2) replication of prior knowledge including the confirmation of expected pharmacodynamics, and (3) the broad application of open science through inter-center collaboration and data sharing. We further discuss current efforts that are establishing the core framework needed for successfully addressing the translatability crisis of TBI.
