Clustering and Characteristics of Acute Acquired Brain Injury Patients With Driving Resumption Difficulty: The Role of Neuropsychological Tests, Frailty, and Gait Independence.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesDecisions to resume driving after acute brain injury are often difficult. Predictors of decisions depend on the results of neuropsychological tests. As a result, few studies have investigated other characteristics. This study clustered participants who received support for resuming driving after acute brain injury based on neuropsychological tests and analyzed their characteristics. MATERIALS AND
methodsParticipants were 74 patients with acute brain injury. Cluster analysis was used to classify participants based on attention and visuospatial cognitive functions. Each cluster group were compared using multiple comparison tests (Bonferroni method) in terms of clinical assessments, neuropsychological tests, and driving resumption ability.
resultsThe characteristics of the cluster group with poor results in the two neuropsychological tests were that they were often judged as unable to resume driving (p < 0.001), were in a state of frailty (p = 0.02), and had a low level of walking independence (p = 0.02).
conclusionsWhen helping patients with acute brain injury to return to driving, not only the results of neuropsychological tests but also assessments of frailty before onset and level of walking independence are important.
