Systematic search and review of racial and ethnic differences in traumatic brain injury prevalence and incidence.
Synthesis in Injury prevention : journal of the International Society for Child and Adolescent Injury Prevention, 2026. 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
backgroundPrevious research suggests that some racial/ethnic groups are at increased risk for poor health outcomes following a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Less is known about the extent to which TBI prevalence and incidence vary by race/ethnicity. This paper presents results of a systematic search and review of TBI prevalence and incidence among US racial and ethnic groups.
methodsStudies were included if they were peer-reviewed, included any prevalence or incidence measure of head injury (TBI and concussion) in a US population, stratified by race and/or ethnicity and included data collected within the last 20 years. Estimates were synthesised and described based on study outcomes and population types.
resultsTBI prevalence and incidence varied by race and ethnicity across a range of population and outcome types. Past year self-reported prevalence of sports-related or recreation-related concussion ranged from about 11% to 40% and was generally highest among American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) high school students and lowest among Asian high school students. Similarly, rates of TBI-related deaths across the USA ranged from 7.7 per 100 000 population among Asian/Pacific Islanders to 29.0 among AI/AN individuals. Rates of abusive head trauma were generally higher among black children.
conclusionsThis review suggests the prevalence and incidence of TBI vary considerably by race/ethnicity and across different outcomes and populations examined. However, certain race/ethnicity groups, like AI/AN individuals, generally experience the highest frequency of TBI. Future research and interventions to help reduce TBIs among groups at increased risk for this injury may be warranted.
