Paediatric Traumatic Brain Injury and Long-Term Antidepressant Use: A Nationwide Register-Based Cohort Study.

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
aimThe association between paediatric traumatic brain injury (pTBI) and post-traumatic antidepressant medication usage remains an understudied subject.
methodsA nationwide Finnish retrospective cohort study (1998-2018) included 71 969 pTBI patients and 64 856 orthopaedic references. Antidepressant medication data were sourced from the Finnish Social Insurance Institution. The primary outcome was post-traumatic paediatric antidepressant use.
resultsThe study included 136 825 patients. Kaplan-Meier analyses showed higher antidepressant use in pTBI patients, especially after 5 years and following surgery. The cumulative incidence rate (CIR) after 1 year was 0.73% (pTBI) versus 0.34% (references), increasing to 26.95% versus 25.51% after 20 years. Cox regression showed a higher long-term risk in pTBI patients (HR 1.31, up to 9 years). Operatively treated pTBI had an HR of 4.45 after 2 years. Among females, HR was 2.60 after 1 year, while in males, HR was 1.54.
conclusionsThe risk of antidepressant use following pTBI is notably higher after the first year, for both sexes and among patients who undergo operative treatment for pTBI. This elevated risk persists for 9 years but then declines.
