Evaluating the physical and psychosocial impact of serious physical combat injuries in UK armed forces personnel-the ADVANCE cohort study.

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
The ADVANCE cohort study is a prospective cohort study investigating the impact of sustaining a serious physical combat injury whilst on deployment to Afghanistan on long-term health outcomes. The cohort will provide essential data on medical/psychosocial risk factors and outcomes associated with combat injury and establish injury-specific mechanisms of disease. Participants include UK Armed Forces personnel who sustained serious physical combat injuries and a frequency-matched comparison group who sustained no such injuries (uninjured group). The cohort consists of 1145 participants, with a baseline response rate of 59.6% for the injured group (n = 579) and 56.3% for the uninjured group (n = 566). The first follow up of this cohort retained 92% of the sample (n = 1053/1145). This cohort profile describes the baseline and first follow up demographics for ADVANCE, as well as details on published research projects spanning military epidemiology, physical health, including cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal and neurological, mental health and health-related behaviours. These projects comprise identification of early risk factors for disease and observed differences in health-characteristics between groups. Since baseline assessment of the cohort, ADVANCE has expanded investigations across physical and mental health domains, utilising advice from participant engagement and an international scientific advisory group. Researchers working on the ADVANCE cohort continue to engage with policy makers, clinicians and participants to ensure a wide-ranging impact from work conducted.Registration: The ADVANCE Study is registered at ISRCTN ID: ISRCTN57285353.
