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: Moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) with nonoperative intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) presents a significant challenge in neurorehabilitation, often lacking targeted pharmacological interventions. Cerebrolysin, a neuropeptide compound with proposed neurotrophic and neuroprotective properties, may support recovery in this population. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Cerebrolysin in adults with moderate TBI and nonoperative ICH over a 6-month period. Materials and Methods: In this prospective, single-blind, controlled cohort study, 340 patients aged 18 to 80 years with moderate TBI and nonoperative ICH were enrolled from two tertiary care centers in Thailand between 2022 and 2024. Participants received either standard care plus Cerebrolysin (30 mL/day intravenously for 10 days; Results: The Cerebrolysin group demonstrated significantly greater improvement in CRS-R scores at discharge (20.3 ± 2.7 vs. 16.4 ± 2.1; Conclusion: Cerebrolysin may enhance functional recovery and survival in moderate TBI with nonoperative ICH without increasing adverse effects. While Cerebrolysin showed promising effects, the nonrandomized and single-blind design limits causal inference. Further randomized controlled trials are warranted.
