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

introductionIntracranial pressure (ICP) has become a cornerstone of care in adult and pediatric patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). DISCUSSION: Despite the fact that continuous monitoring of ICP in TBI was described almost 60 years ago, there are no randomized trials confirming the benefit of ICP monitoring and treatment in TBI. There is, however, a large body of clinical evidence showing that ICP monitoring influences treatment and leads to better outcomes if part of protocol-driven therapy. However, treatment of ICP has adverse effects, and there are several questions about ICP management that have yet to be definitively answered, particularly in pediatric TBI. This review examines the history and evolution of ICP monitoring, pathophysiological concepts that influence ICP interpretation, ongoing controversies, and the place of ICP monitoring in modern neurocritical care.
