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

Background: Moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (msTBI) remains a leading cause of long-term disability and mortality. While multimodal neuromonitoring (MMM) provides real-time insights into cerebral pathophysiology, its integration into prognostic models for long-term outcomes requires further validation. Objective: To develop and evaluate a prognostic model for 6-month neurological outcomes in msTBI patients using acute-phase multimodal monitoring parameters, clinical variables, and comorbidities. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 143 adult patients with msTBI [Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) 4-12] who underwent multimodal intracranial monitoring (ICP, CPP, PbtO₂, and cerebral microdialysis) for ≥48 h at Results: Of 143 patients, 86 (60.1%) had favorable outcomes and 57 (39.9%) had unfavorable outcomes (including 29 deaths). Independent predictors of unfavorable outcome were: older age (adjusted OR 1.055 per year, 95% CI: 1.015-1.098), lower admission GCS (OR 0.713, 95% CI: 0.537-0.947), elevated lactate/pyruvate ratio (LPR) (OR 1.129 per unit, 95% CI: 1.044-1.220), reduced brain tissue oxygen tension (PbtO₂) (OR 0.842 per mmHg, 95% CI: 0.730-0.972), and pre-existing coronary heart disease (OR 3.866, 95% CI: 0.998-14.976). The final model demonstrated excellent discriminative performance with an AUC of 0.882 (95% CI: 0.820-0.944) and good calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow Conclusion: A prognostic model incorporating multimodal neuromonitoring parameters (LPR and PbtO₂), age, admission GCS, and coronary heart disease accurately predicts 6-month outcomes in msTBI patients. These findings support the clinical utility of integrated neuromonitoring for early risk stratification and personalized neurocritical care.
