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

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most common and complex neurological conditions. Many TBI patients require ongoing rehabilitation beyond acute care, making treatment and discharge decisions critical. While individual risk factors for TBI outcomes are known, integrating comprehensive electronic health record (EHR) data into practical, validated prediction tools for personalized discharge planning and readmission risk assessment remains a key challenge. EHRs offer a valuable resource by integrating sociodemographic information, clinical care details, and prior healthcare encounters, providing an opportunity to develop models that predict key outcomes for TBI patients, such as discharge disposition and 30-day readmission. Methods: This retrospective cohort study utilized EHRs from a large multi-hospital health system (2017-2023) to develop and validate statistical models predicting discharge disposition and 30-day readmission among hospitalized TBI patients, and to translate these models into an accessible clinical prediction tool. Descriptive statistics were calculated to summarize patient characteristics. Multinomial logistic regression was used to model discharge disposition, and logistic regression was used for 30-day readmission. Forward stepwise regression based on the Akaike information criterion was used for variable selection. Cross-validation using the area under the receiver operating characteristic evaluated predictive performance. Results: Several factors were significantly associated with both outcomes. Older age was positively associated with discharge to Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility/Skilled Nursing Facility or Hospice/Died versus Home ( Conclusion: We developed and validated predictive models using EHR data, culminating in a practical tool that may enhance the management of patients hospitalized with TBI by supporting personalized discharge planning and risk stratification.
