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

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a prevalent health concern with variable recovery trajectories, necessitating reliable prognostic markers. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) emerges as a potential candidate because of its role in cellular growth, repair, and neuroprotection. However, limited studies investigate IGF-1 as a prognostic marker in mTBI patients. This study aimed to explore the correlation of IGF-1 with cognitive functions assessed using the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) in mTBI patients. We analyzed data from 295 mTBI and 200 healthy control participants, assessing demographic characteristics, injury causes, and IGF-1 levels. Cognitive functions were evaluated using the WCST. Correlation analyses and regression models were used to investigate the associations between IGF-1 levels, demographic factors, and WCST scores. Significant differences were observed between mTBI and control groups in the proportion of females and average education years. Falls and traffic accidents were identified as the primary causes of mTBI. The mTBI group demonstrated worse cognitive outcomes on the WCST, except for the "Learning to Learn" index. Correlation analyses revealed significant relationships between IGF-1 levels, demographic factors, and specific WCST scores. Regression models demonstrated that IGF-1, age, and education years significantly influenced various WCST scores, suggesting their roles as potential prognostic markers for cognitive outcomes in mTBI patients. We provide valuable insights into the potential correlation of IGF-1 with cognitive functions in mTBI patients, particularly in tasks requiring cognitive flexibility and problem solving.
