Relationship between growth differentiation factor 15 and functional prognosis and severity in traumatic brain injury.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. 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
Circulating growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) increases in response to inflammation and tissue damage. Its association with functional prognosis in cerebral infarction and subarachnoid hemorrhage is established; however, its role in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and its relationship with Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, an indicator of systemic organ damage in TBI, remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the correlation between GDF-15 and functional outcomes at discharge in patients with TBI and stroke, including its association with SOFA scores in TBI. Patients with cerebral infarction, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and TBI transported within 24 h from July 2020 to August 2022 were included. Multivariable logistic regression analyzed the relationship between GDF-15 levels at admission and functional outcomes at discharge, with age and sex as covariates. Additionally, correlations between GDF-15 levels and SOFA scores were assessed. Multivariable logistic regression showed a relationship between GDF-15 levels at admission and functional outcomes at discharge in cerebral infarction and subarachnoid hemorrhage but not in TBI. In TBI cases, GDF-15 correlated with SOFA scores, indicating its potential as a TBI severity marker. Although functional prognosis at discharge was evaluated, long-term outcomes were not clear, and this will be addressed in future research.
