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

backgroundHealthcare providers play a critical role in the return to school (RTS) process after a child sustains a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The purpose of this study was to examine healthcare providers' perspectives on effective communication with school personnel and gaps within those practices, using a qualitative approach.

methodsTwelve community-based healthcare providers in suburban Oregon and Ohio completed semi-structured interviews between February 2021 and July 2021 via Zoom. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.

resultsPrimary themes centered on how breakdowns in communication between healthcare and education systems occur easily without formalized systems, and how formalized systems of care are beneficial.

conclusionsChildren with mTBI benefit when there is (1) a consistent communication system between school-based staff, caregivers, and healthcare providers and (2) a clear point person in the school system. IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL HEALTH POLICY, PRACTICE, AND EQUITY: Schools should create intentional and formalized communication pathways with healthcare providers as an effective approach to meeting the needs of students and their families.
