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

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a global health concern that often leads to poor prognosis. We designed this study to explore whether thiamine use is associated with a better prognosis of TBI. Methods: TBI patients selected from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-III database were included in the study. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to examine the relationship between thiamine use and mortality in TBI patients. Propensity score matching (PSM) was utilized to generate balanced cohorts of the non-thiamine use group and the thiamine use group. Subgroup analysis was performed in the cohort after PSM to verify the association between thiamine use and mortality in TBI patients across different stratifications. Results: The incidence of thiamine use in TBI was 18.3%. The thiamine use group had a lower 30-day mortality rate ( Conclusion: Thiamine supplementation is effective in improving the outcome of TBI, except in cases of mild TBI. The optimal thiamine supplementation strategy for TBI is worthwhile to be explored in future studies.
