Rehabilitation Outcomes of Service Members and Veterans With Mild-to-Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury.
Article in Medical care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveWe sought to examine changes in mild-to-moderate TBI-related symptoms among service members and veterans (SM/Vs) following participation in a 5-site inpatient rehabilitation program with the US Department of Veterans Affairs between 7/1/2022 and 5/30/2024.
methodsNeurobehavioral outcomes, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, pain interference, and lifestyle behaviors related to brain injury were assessed at baseline, discharge, and a 6-month follow-up. Mixed effects linear regression models, adjusting for key patient characteristics, were estimated to determine changes in TBI-related outcomes across the 3 time points.
resultsMean participant age, for those with complete data (n = 127), was 41.64 years (SD = 5.57), with a mean of 7.45 deployments (SD = 3.12) and 16.32 concussive events (SD = 7.21). Participants were predominantly White (73.23%) Special Operations personnel (82.68%). TBI-related outcomes, including neurobehavioral symptoms, pain interference, PTSD, and brain injury adaptability, decreased significantly from baseline to discharge (b = -14.36, SE = 1.03; b = -3.79, SE = 0.49; b = -11.14, SE = 1.27; b = -2.41, SE = 0.41), with Cohen's d effect sizes of 1.14, 0.71, 0.69, and 0.56, respectively. Six-month follow-up, TBI-related outcomes remained statistically and practically below baseline levels in all measures except adaptability. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Findings illustrate an interdisciplinary, inpatient rehabilitation program for mild-to-moderate TBI yields significant improvements in TBI-related symptoms that are common among SM/Vs and are sustained at 6 months postdischarge.
