1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a prevalent, chronic disease with heterogenous recovery and dementia risk. Poor brain health is associated with increased dementia risk, but brain health remains unexplored in TBI. Brain Care Score (BCS), a tool measuring brain health with physical, lifestyle, and social factors, has not been used in TBI. Retrospective cohort study of TBI-clinic visits in the Neurology Traumatic Brain Injury and Concussion Clinic (9/2022-10/2025). Inclusion criteria: ≥18yo, self-reported TBI, BCS, functional outcomes. Disability defined as Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE) <7. Among 185 patients (median age 45yo, 55.1% men, 76.2% mild TBI), 64.9% were disabled (mean GOSE 5.11 [SD: 0.80]) whom had lower BCS vs non-disabled (14.9 vs 16.8,
