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
A small percentage of patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) does not follow the expected recovery trajectory but develop persistent post-concussion symptoms (PCS). The fear-avoidance model (FAM) is a general biopsychosocial model that may potentially explain the development and continuation of persistent PCS for a subgroup of patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate if the FAM can (at least partially) explain PCS at 3 and 6 months post-mTBI by investigating associations between the elements of the FAM. A prospective, longitudinal, multicenter cohort study with outcome assessments at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months post-mTBI was conducted in 163 patients with mTBI recruited from the emergency department and neurology department within 2 weeks post-mTBI. The FAM components PCS, catastrophizing, fear-avoidance behavior and depressive symptoms correlated significantly with each other at 3 months post-mTBI (
