Communicating with Families after Severe Acute Brain Injury.
Review in Neurocritical care, 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
Communicating with patients and families after severe acute brain injury (SABI) is often considered an art, but the science of communication in SABI is advancing. Recent research demonstrates how surrogates perceive various styles of prognostic language in SABI, provides insight on factors that influence prognostic discordance between surrogate decision-makers and clinicians, and identifies sources of bias in prognostic communication and shared decision-making. In this article for Neurocritical Care's topical collection on palliative care, we review this latest research, offer strategies to approach difficult communication tasks with insufficient evidence to guide practice, and discuss ethical issues relevant to decision-making for this patient population.
