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

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a common cause for pediatric emergency department visits and can impose substantial burdens on families, including missed work and childcare needs. Socioeconomic context may influence both healthcare use and these downstream impacts. This study examined the association between Child Opportunity Index (COI), a neighborhood-level measure of socioeconomic status, and healthcare utilization and indirect costs following pediatric concussion. In a secondary analysis of a multisite randomized controlled trial of patients with acute (<72 h) concussion, participants were categorized into high, middle, and low COI groups. Outcomes included follow-up care, caregiver missed workdays, childcare needs, and indirect costs, analyzed using multivariable regression models. Participants from lower COI neighborhoods were more likely to present to the emergency department, with 93.02% compared to 71.43% in higher COI groups (
