Relationship between illness perceptions, coping style and post-concussion symptoms after systemic traumatic injury: A comparison of those with and without mild traumatic brain injury.
Article in Journal of health psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Research has reported variable findings when investigating the relationship between outcome and coping style and illness perceptions after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The present study investigated 138 individuals who had been admitted to hospital after suffering a traumatic systemic injury, with 91 of these individuals also fulfilling criteria for mTBI and 47 comprising a trauma control (TC) comparison group. Participants were assessed 8 weeks after injury with measures of coping style, illness perception, post-concussion symptoms (PCS) and psychological symptomatology. After controlling for psychological distress and sex, no linear or predictive association was found between any coping style and PCS endorsement for either group. Despite equivalent levels of PCS and general injury-related symptom endorsement (Identity beliefs) between the groups, regression analyses revealed that Identity beliefs significantly improved the prediction of PCS endorsement in the mTBI group, but not in the TC group. The clinical implications of these findings are discussed.
