Assessment of GCS and FOUR Score as Prognostic Indicators for Hospital Stay and Morbidity in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients: An Observational Study.

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
Aim: The objective of the present research was to evaluate variations in hospital stay as well as morbidity based on the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Full Outline of Un-Responsive (FOUR) scores for patients who had traumatic brain injury (TBI). Materials and Methods: A total of 107 patients with TBI patients who attended the emergency department of MES Medical College, Perinthalmanna, were enrolled into the study. FOUR and GCS scoring systems were used to assess the patients within 24 hours of the presentation to the emergency department. Both FOUR and GCS scoring systems were assessed at the same time. The outcome was measured in terms of length of hospital stay and morbidity, which was assessed using modified Rankin score. Chi-square test was used to calculate sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value. The area under the curve (AUC) was calculated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. A Results: We found a strong positive correlation between GCS and FOUR score with a Spearman coefficient of 0.9. Comparison of AUC between GCS score and FOUR score showed a statistically significant difference ( Conclusion: FOUR score was a better predictor of hospital stay and morbidity as compared to GCS score.
