Compare the GCS and the Rotterdam CT Score in Predicting the Mortality and Disability of Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury.
Article in Advanced biomedical research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: Given the dearth of extensive research comparing the Glasgow Coma Scale with the Rotterdam scoring system for predicting mortality in trauma patients, this study was conducted to determine which scale provides a more realistic prediction of mortality in trauma patients after three months. Materials and Methods: This observational study was performed at Kashani Hospital in Isfahan, Iran. Patients with TBI who were admitted between February 2022 and February 2023 were included in the study. Approval from the Ethical Committee of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences was obtained prior to conducting this study. Results: We included 152 adult patients who completed the GOS-E and the QOLIBRI-OS three-month post-injury. The median age was 35 years (IQR = 17-70). Most patients 139 (91.4%) were classified as having a severe TBI. Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that both the use of GCS and Rotterdam CT scores can be effective in predicting the three-month mortality and QOLIBRI-OS scores of patients, with the difference that the predictive power of the three-month Rotterdam CT score is greater than that of the GCS.
