Epidemiology and Outcome of Traumatic Brain Injuries: A Retrospective Study in a Tertiary Care Center.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundTraumatic brain injuries (TBI) are a major public health concern worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries such as Nepal, where road traffic accidents (RTAs) are the leading cause. Despite advances in medical care, TBI remains a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality. This study aims to analyze the epidemiology, clinical presentation, and outcomes of TBI cases in a tertiary care center in Nepal. MATERIALS AND
methodsA retrospective study was conducted at Neuro Cardio & Multispeciality Hospital, Nepal, reviewing 1067 TBI patients admitted between 1
resultsThe majority of patients were male (73.9%) with RTAs accounting for 69.5% of TBIs and mild TBIs (GCS of 13-15) represented the majority (75.7%) of cases. Neurosurgical intervention was required in 18.1% of cases, with decompressive craniectomy being the most common procedure. The average ICU stay was eight days, and mortality was 7.2%. GCS on admission was a significant predictor of LOS and clinical outcomes (p<0.001).
conclusionThe study highlights the importance of early intervention and standardized tools like GCS in predicting patient outcomes. Improved road safety measures and trauma care systems are essential for reducing the incidence and severity of TBIs in resource-limited settings.
