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

Coagulopathy following traumatic brain injury (TBI) is increasingly being recognized as a determinant of hematoma expansion and outcome. Unlike systemic trauma, where coagulopathy is often driven by hemorrhagic shock, TBI appears to induce a unique brain-derived hemostatic response. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms underlying TBI-induced coagulopathy, its diagnostic challenges, and association with hematoma expansion. We further evaluate evidence from randomized trials targeting coagulopathy in TBI, including interventions such as tranexamic acid, plasma, recombinant Factor VIIa, and fibrinogen. While several studies show proof of concept, clinical benefit remains inconsistent, likely due to issues of timing, heterogeneity, and underpowered study design. Moving forward, ultra-early and individualized approaches guided by real-time hemostatic monitoring may offer the most promising path. A better understanding of the temporal and mechanistic dynamics of coagulopathy will be essential for improving treatment strategies and patient outcomes.
