Postoperative intracranial haemorrhage: a review.
Review in Neurosurgical review, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 43 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Postoperative haemorrhage (POH) is one of the most serious complications of any cranial neurosurgical procedure and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The relative paucity of work investigating this postoperative complication prompted us to undertake a review of the literature, focussing on demographic, clinical, and surgical risk factors. A literature search was undertaken using Ovid MEDLINE (1950-2009) using keywords including craniectomy, craniotomy, neurosurgery, intracranial, reoperation, repeat craniotomy, postoperative, haemorrhage, haematoma, and bleeding. The rates of POH following intracranial procedures reported in the literature vary greatly, and meaningful comparison is difficult. We defined postoperative haemorrhage as that following craniotomy, which is clinically significant and requires surgical evacuation. Risk factors include pre-existing medical comorbidities including hypertension, coagulopathies and haematological abnormalities, intraoperative hypertension and blood loss, certain lesion pathologies including tumours, chronic subdural haematomas, and deficiencies in haemostasis. We conclude by providing recommendations for clinical practice based on the literature reviewed to aid clinicians in the detection and avoidance of POH.
