Psychological Health of Female Service Members and Veterans Associated With Mild Traumatic Brain Injury History: A LIMBIC-CENC Study.
Article in The Journal of head trauma rehabilitation. 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
objectivesTo (1) evaluate differences in psychological health outcomes between US female service members and veterans (FSMVs) with and without mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) history, and (2) examine the associations between psychological health and lifetime mTBI history, time since last mTBI, blast-mTBI history, and combat-mTBI history.
settingTen military and veteran health care study sites nationwide.
participantsFSMV enrolled in the Long-term Impact of Military-relevant Brain Injury Consortium-Chronic Effects of Neurotrauma Consortium (LIMBIC-CENC) study. We used 2:1 propensity score matching to match FSMVs with a prior mTBI (n = 148; age: 40.0 ± 8.7 years; time since last mTBI: 11.6 ± 9.4 years) to those without mTBI history (n = 74) on demographic and health-history confounders.
designProspective, longitudinal study design with current cross-sectional analysis. MAIN MEASURES: FSMVs completed thorough health history evaluations and standardized assessments consisting of the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL5), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory (NSI), Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), and the Traumatic Brain Injury-Quality of Life (TBI-QoL) anxiety and emotional-behavioral dyscontrol modules.
resultsCompared to the no mTBI group, FSMVs with any lifetime mTBI displayed worse PCL-5, PHQ-9, NSI, and TBI-QoL Anxiety total scores ( P ≤ .002), but not SWLS or TBI-QoL emotional-behavioral dyscontrol. Combat mTBI history demonstrated worse PCL-5, SWLS, and TBI-QoL Anxiety total scores ( P ≤ .047). Greater SWLS scores were observed for each year since their last mTBI ( P = .048). No significant differences for cumulative mTBI history or any blast-mTBI history were observed across outcomes ( P ≥ .146).
conclusionsFSMVs with ≥1 mTBI history reported greater psychological symptoms than those without. Among FSMVs with lifetime mTBI history, combat-mTBI history was associated with worse PTSD, life satisfaction, and anxiety symptoms. Our findings indicate that a single mTBI, notably combat-related, may adversely impact psychological health, but future research is necessary for longitudinal, comprehensive FSMV health understanding across the lifespan post-mTBI.
