Prospective Harmonization, Common Data Elements, and Sharing Strategies for Multicenter Pre-Clinical Traumatic Brain Injury Research in the Translational Outcomes Project in Neurotrauma Consortium.
Article in Journal of neurotrauma, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Effective team science requires procedural harmonization for rigor and reproducibility. Multicenter studies across experimental modalities (domains) can help accelerate translation. The Translational Outcomes Project in NeuroTrauma (TOP-NT) is a pre-clinical traumatic brain injury (TBI) consortium charged with establishing and validating noninvasive TBI assessment tools through team science. Here, we present practical approaches for harmonization of TBI research across five centers providing needed vocabulary and structure to achieve centralized data organization and use. This includes data sharing as an essential step that enables validating data between domains, evaluating reproducibility between sites, and performing multimodal analyses. As part of this process, TOP-NT (1) produced a library of TBI-relevant standard operating procedures to coordinate workflow, (2) aligned 481 pre-clinical and clinical common data elements (CDEs), and (3) generated 272 new pre-clinical TBI CDEs. This consortium then (4) connected diverse data types to validate assessments across domains and to allow multivariable TBI phenotyping. Lastly, TOP-NT (5) specified technical quality controls for pre-clinical studies. These harmonization tools can facilitate reproducibility in team science, help distinguish a wide injury spectrum from technical variability, apply quality-controls, and ease higher level data analyses. TOP-NT uses three rat TBI models across four sites. Each site collects primary outcome measures, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols and blood biomarkers of neuronal and glial injury, validated by histopathology and behavioral outcomes. Collected data are organized using the 481 TOP-NT pre-clinical CDEs, covering surgical, behavioral, biomarker, MRI, and quantitative histopathological methods. We report data curation steps suited for data storage using the Open Data Commons for TBI as a centralized data repository, allowing unbiased cross-site analysis. This approach leads to introducing a higher level, syndromic understanding of TBI signatures. TOP-NT authors outline a semantic and structural framework suggesting strategies for robust pre-clinical research in multicenter trials to improve translatability for TBI assessments.
