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

objectiveTo describe the degree of correspondence between ecological momentary assessment (EMA) symptom ratings and cognitive performance derived from the Mobile Neurocognitive Health Project (MNCH) and clinic-based standard-of-care assessments in adolescents and adults with concussion. Environmental exposures, avoidance behavior, and symptom reactivity data were documented, and the clinical utility of the MNCH protocol for predicting protracted recovery was examined.

method89 patients (13-25 yrs) with concussion enrolled in the MNCH study on their smartphones within one week of injury. Participants completed four brief surveys per day for a 7-day period. The surveys included assessments of environmental exposures, avoidance of symptom-provoking environments, symptom ratings, ultra-brief performance-based cognitive assessments, and ratings of symptom reactivity to the surveys and cognitive assessments. The primary criteria used for determining the utility of EMA-based data were the degree of correspondence with in-clinic symptom ratings and cognitive performance, and the ability of EMA-based measures to predict risk for protracted recovery.

resultsSymptom scores and cognitive performance outcomes obtained via EMA were significantly associated with in-clinic symptom ratings (PCSS) and computerized neurocognitive testing (ImPACT). Multiple logistic modeling results indicated that EMA total symptom scores were stronger predictors of protracted recovery than in-clinic symptom ratings. Additionally, ratings of avoidance behavior and reactivity to the EMA surveys and assessments were significantly associated with protracted recovery.

conclusionsValid estimates of concussion symptoms may be obtained via remote, unsupervised, high-frequency assessment. In addition to EMA-based symptom scores, avoidance behavior and symptom reactivity may yield prognostic information about risk for protracted recovery.
