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

Objectives: To examine how traumatic brain injury (TBI)-related clinical burden (eg, neurobehavioral symptoms, TBI-related lifestyle/participation deficits) is associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom trajectories during inpatient rehabilitation. Design: Cross-sectional and longitudinal cohort study. Setting: Veterans Health Administration Intensive Evaluation and Treatment Program for TBI distributed across 5 sites in the United States. Participants: Participants were male Special Operations Forces with an average age of 42 years (SD, 5.4) and a history of mild to moderate TBI (n=105). Interventions: A longitudinal cohort evaluation was conducted to analyze baseline, discharge, and 6-month follow-up data from Special Operations Forces enrolled in the Veterans Health Administration's Intensive Evaluation and Treatment Program for TBI, which is a variable-length program with interdisciplinary rehabilitation opportunities. Main Outcome Measures: TBI-related clinical burden was operationalized using neurobehavioral symptom burden and functional participation impairment, and PTSD symptom severity was assessed using the PTSD Checklist for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition. Multivariable linear regression and linear mixed-effects models were used to analyze the data. Results: Greater neurobehavioral symptom burden (b=1.00; Conclusions: These findings suggest that functional participation may represent an important measure of TBI-related clinical burden that is associated with PTSD symptom trajectories in a TBI rehabilitation program.
