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

Polytrauma and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) are major global health burdens associated with high morbidity and mortality, requiring accurate and early diagnosis to prevent secondary complications. In polytrauma, current protein-based biomarkers for TBI lack specificity, highlighting the need for novel approaches. Circulating microRNAs, especially those encapsulated in extracellular vesicles, represent a promising alternative due to their stability and tissue-specific signatures. This study investigates compartment-specific expression of candidate microRNAs in plasma, total extracellular vesicles and neuro-derived extracellular vesicles following trauma. In this retrospective analysis, blood samples were prospectively collected from 20 trauma patients (Injury Severity Score ≥ 16;
