Life satisfaction trajectories over the 10 years post-TBI among Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders: A model systems study.
Article in Rehabilitation psychology, 2026. 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
PURPOSE/
objectiveAsian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) have been underrepresented in rehabilitation research, resulting in a limited understanding of the long-term effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in this population. The current study bridges this gap by examining demographic and injury-related factors predicting life satisfaction trajectories over the first 10 years after TBI in AAPIs. RESEARCH METHOD/
designThe sample consisted of 381 AAPI-identifying individuals with moderate-to-severe TBI who were enrolled in the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research-funded TBI Model Systems national study and had data for at least one Satisfaction with Life Scale total score at any time point (i.e., years 1, 2, 5, or 10). Hierarchical linear models examined baseline predictors of life satisfaction trajectories over the 10 years post-TBI and whether these predictors interacted with time.
resultsOverall, life satisfaction remained stable over time. Higher overall life satisfaction trajectories were seen among AAPIs who had been married at baseline, had higher educational attainment, had been employed at injury, had low annual earnings, and had no pre-TBI mental health treatment history. Nativity/country of birth was not a significant predictor of life satisfaction trajectories when controlling for other demographic factors. None of these predictors interacted with time, suggesting no differential change in life satisfaction as a function of these predictors. CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS: The findings provide valuable insights into culturally sensitive rehabilitation approaches for AAPIs with TBI by highlighting key risk and protective factors associated with long-term life satisfaction.
