Pre-Clinical Models of Traumatic Brain Injury-A Narrative Review Towards "Animal Neuro-ICUs".
Review in Biomedicines, 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
The presence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a critical determinant of post-traumatic mortality and morbidity. Not only is TBI one of the leading causes of death among severely injured patients, but it also substantially impacts long-term outcomes following severe trauma. Neurocritical care has a profound effect on outcomes following brain injury; nevertheless, its application in preclinical studies remains infrequent. This review therefore discusses strategies to improve the translational relevance of experimental TBI research, including the integration of neurocritical care principles in animal models. The review further addresses the impact of observation periods after injury and the selection of appropriate animal models (large vs. small animal models). In addition, commonly used injury induction methods-including controlled cortical impact (CCI), fluid percussion injury (FPI), weight-drop models, and blast injury paradigms-are discussed in terms of their reproducibility and clinical relevance. Finally, the review explores whether age, comorbidities, and sex influence TBI outcomes-and, if so, how these variables should be incorporated into experimental designs to improve translational fidelity.
