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

Chronic pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide and frequently co-occurs with mild traumatic brain injury among Veterans (mTBI + CP), creating complex treatment challenges and a need for novel, non-pharmacological interventions. This study evaluated a pilot intervention combining intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), a neuromodulatory approach, with the evidence-based LoveYourBrain Yoga program to enhance rehabilitation outcomes. In a six-week open-label trial, ten Veterans with mTBI + CP received weekly iTBS followed by yoga sessions. Pilot quantitative outcomes included quality of life (Traumatic Brain Injury Quality of Life [TBI-QoL]) and functional ability (Mayo Portland Adaptability Inventory-4 [MPAI-4]), assessed pre- and post-intervention, alongside qualitative semi-structured interviews and interdisciplinary clinical notes. Significant improvements were observed in TBI-QoL Fatigue (
