Mild traumatic brain injury history is associated with lower brain network resilience in soldiers.

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
Special Operations Forces combat soldiers sustain frequent blast and blunt neurotrauma, most often classified as mild traumatic brain injuries. Exposure to repetitive mild traumatic brain injuries is associated with persistent behavioural, cognitive, emotional and neurological symptoms later in life. Identifying neurophysiological changes associated with mild traumatic brain injury exposure, in the absence of present-day symptoms, is necessary for detecting future neurological risk. Advancements in graph theory and functional MRI have offered novel ways to analyse complex whole-brain network connectivity. Our purpose was to determine how mild traumatic brain injury history, lifetime incidence and recency affected whole-brain graph theoretical outcome measures. Healthy male Special Operations Forces combat soldiers (age = 33.2 ± 4.3 years) underwent multimodal neuroimaging at a biomedical research imaging centre using 3T Siemens Prisma or Biograph MRI scanners in this cross-sectional study. Anatomical and functional scans were preprocessed. The blood-oxygen-level-dependent signal was extracted from each functional MRI time series using the Big Brain 300 atlas. Correlations between atlas regions were calculated and Fisher
