1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) with diffuse axonal injury (DAI) necessitates significant medical and rehabilitation interventions. The late long-term outcome is variable with potential for neurodegenerative development and deterioration. This study evaluates the late long-term outcomes of moderate to severe TBI with DAI. Methods: Patients aged 16-65 with moderate to severe TBI and DAI were included. From 2006 to 2018, 30 patients (mean age 34; 21 males, 9 females) were enrolled. Outcomes were assessed using the Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOSE) at 6 months and ≥ 1-year post-injury. Results: At 6 months, 10 patients had a favourable outcome (GOSE 6-8), increasing to 12 at ≥ 1-year post-injury. Patients with unfavourable outcomes were older (mean 40) than those with favourable outcomes (mean 24, Discussion: Approximately one-third of TBI patients with DAI achieved favourable long-term outcomes, and the outcome changed in half of the patients between 6 months and ≥ 1 year follow-up. Age and DAI stage were significant predictors of outcome. Further studies are required to enhance prognostic accuracy and explore rehabilitation's impact.
