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

Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains the leading cause of acquired disability in previously healthy children, with outcomes varying widely despite advanced care. Posttraumatic brain damage may prevent proper functioning despite the implementation of advanced intensive care techniques or early neurosurgical interventions. This retrospective cohort study examined the relationship between specific intensive care unit (ICU) interventions and functional outcomes in 69 pediatric patients with severe TBI treated at the Upper Silesian Children's Health Center in Katowice from 2019 to 2024. Data collected included demographics, injury severity, treatment modalities, and intervention procedures. Long-term neurological outcomes were assessed using the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) via parental interviews. The survival rate was 85.5% (59/69), with a median ICU stay of 8 days [interquartile range (IQR) = 5-11]. Of note, the survival rate was significantly longer in boys (8 days, IQR = 6-12.25) than girls (6 days, IQR = 3-9) (
