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

objectiveTo evaluate if peer relationship ratings differ among adolescents who sustain a sport-related concussion compared to those who sustain a non-sport-related concussion. STUDY

designWe conducted a cross-sectional investigation of 123 adolescents who sustained a concussion within 21 days before their initial post-injury evaluation (mean = 9.2 ± 3.9 days post-concussion). Participants reported whether their injury occurred during organized sport participation (sport-related concussion group) or not (non-sport-related concussion group). Participants completed the PROMIS Global Pediatric 25 assessment, as well as the Post-Concussion Symptom Inventory (PCSI) to rate concussion symptom severity and a background/demographic intake form during the evaluation. We compared PROMIS peer relationship ratings between groups using independent t-tests and evaluated the association between peer relationship ratings and sport-related concussion using multiple linear regression after adjusting for covariates including PROMIS anxiety rating, age, sex, concussion and musculoskeletal injury history, loss of consciousness at time of concussion, physical activity participation prior to study evaluation, and concussion symptom severity.

resultsMost (

conclusionAdolescents who sustained a concussion during sports reported significantly greater post-concussion peer relationship ratings than those in non-sport settings. Better peer relationship ratings were associated with less anxiety in the post-injury period. These findings suggest the potential effects of contextual factors (e.g. peer support) to facilitate improved outcomes following adolescent concussion.
