Progression of mild traumatic brain injury with intracranial hemorrhage: a retrospective study of associated factors in patients managed conservatively in the emergency department.
Article in International journal of emergency medicine, 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivePatients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) presenting with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) represent a heterogeneous group, with some experiencing clinical or radiologic deterioration despite initial stability. This study aimed to identify factors associated with clinically significant progression, defined as clinical or radiological worsening resulting in hospital admission or neurosurgical intervention, among patients with mTBI and ICH evaluated in the Emergency Department (ED) of Ramathibodi Hospital, Thailand.
methodsA retrospective review was conducted of adult patients with mTBI (Glasgow Coma Scale [GCS] 13-15) and radiologically confirmed ICH who presented to the ED between 2019 and 2023. Data were retrieved from the hospital electronic medical record system. Patients managed conservatively with at least one repeated computed tomography (CT) scan were included in the study. Clinical and radiologic variables were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression to identify independent factors associated with progression.
resultsAmong 114 eligible patients, 26 (22.8%) demonstrated progression requiring hospital admission or neurosurgical intervention. Independent predictors of progression were midline shift (OR 11.58, 95% CI 2.93-45.78, p < 0.001), systolic blood pressure ≥160 mmHg (OR 5.49, 95% CI 1.69-17.77, p = 0.005), multiple ICH (OR 3.69, 95% CI 1.13-11.98, p = 0.030), and initial GCS 13-14 (OR 4.86, 95% CI 1.18-20.08, p = 0.029).
conclusionThese findings may help guide decisions regarding closer observation and repeat CT brain imaging in patients at higher risk of progression.
