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

Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) following childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result in persistent cognitive impairments that extend into adulthood, yet it remains significantly underdiagnosed and undertreated. This study evaluated the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on chronic neurocognitive symptoms in adults with PCS stemming from pediatric TBI. We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients treated with HBOT at the "Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Research" between 2017 and 2024. Inclusion criteria included TBI before age 17, HBOT initiation after age 20, and the availability of computerized cognitive assessments before and after treatment. All participants received at least 40 sessions of HBOT, consisting of 90 min of 100% oxygen at 2 ATA with air breaks. Twenty-six adults (mean age 31.7 ± 8.6 years) who sustained TBI in childhood (mean age at injury 7.7 ± 5.8 years) met inclusion criteria. Following HBOT, statistically significant improvements were observed in all cognitive domains except for motor skills (global cognition, memory, executive function, attention and information processing speed; all adjusted
