Persistent Symptom Burden Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Is Associated With Lower Quality of Life in Middle-Aged and Older Adults.
Article in Neurotrauma reports. 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
Nearly one-third of individuals who sustain a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) experience persistent symptoms 3 months or longer, which can significantly impact their quality of life (QoL). These symptoms often span physical, cognitive, emotional, and sleep-related domains. To examine the relationship between symptom severity, QoL, and time since injury in individuals with persistent symptoms after mTBI, individuals with mTBI were recruited through a neurology clinic, with matched controls enrolled from the community. Participants completed the World Health Organization QoL-Short version (WHOQOL-BREF), assessing physical, psychological, social, and environmental QoL, the Post Concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS), measuring cognitive, physical, affective, and sleep symptoms, and time since injury. The Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare outcomes between groups, and Spearman's rank correlation was used to examine relationships between time since injury, PCSS, and QoL domains. Eighteen individuals with mTBI and 21 controls (mean age 55.28 ± 10.54 years) completed the study. The mTBI participants had higher symptom severity across all PCSS domains (
