Prevalence of traumatic brain injury among adults and children.
Article in Annals of epidemiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeSurveillance of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the United States has historically relied on healthcare administrative datasets, but these sources likely underestimate the true burden of TBI. Surveys that ask individuals to self- or proxy-report their experiences with their injuries are an alternative source for surveillance. This paper provides results from a large national survey that ascertained TBI among sampled adults and children.
methodsData from the 2023 National Health Interview Survey, a nationally representative household survey of the civilian non-institutionalized US population, were examined. Descriptive and bivariate statistics of demographic and injury characteristics of children and adults who sustained a TBI in the past 12 months were calculated.
resultsAnalyses reveal that 3.0 % (n = 9757,000) of Americans (3.3 % of adults and 2.2 % of children (aged ≤17 years)) reported a TBI in the past year. Among children who sustained a TBI in the past year, over half (55.5 %) sustained their TBI during a sport or recreational activity, and 62.4 % were evaluated by a medical professional. The prevalence of TBI and injury characteristics varied by select demographics.
conclusionThese findings demonstrate that TBI affects a large number of Americans and highlight the value of TBI surveillance through nationally representative surveys, providing a broad picture of prevalence, healthcare utilization, and setting of injury.
