An Examination of Public Knowledge of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury.
Article in Public health challenges, 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
Introduction: Almost three million traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are reported in the US annually. Concussions, also known as mild TBIs (mTBIs), are the most common and account for approximately 90% of TBIs annually. Research indicates confusion regarding the (1) symptoms, (2) mechanisms of injury, and (3) treatment and recovery associated with mTBI. This study sought to build upon previous research by investigating mTBI knowledge within these three domains. Materials and Methods: Responses from 529 participants were collected from two groups: college students ( Results: Overall, mTBI knowledge accuracy was 67%, with highest accuracy on items related to mTBI symptoms (78.77%), followed by mechanisms of injury (71.6%) and treatment and recovery (53.9%). College students had significantly higher mTBI knowledge accuracy, as well as higher accuracy on the mTBI symptom and mechanism items. There were no significant differences in knowledge of mTBI treatment and recovery between groups. Discussion: This study highlights the importance of mTBI education following an mTBI diagnosis. Explanations for these findings considering demographic and individual differences are provided, and clinical implications are discussed.
