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

objectiveTreatment of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains controversial. However, an extensive hemorrhage with a poor mental status is suitable for surgical evacuation. Our experience with the transsylvian-transinsular (TS-TI) microsurgical approach for deep-seated basal ganglia (BG) ICH was investigated. MATERIAL AND

methodsA retrospective review was conducted on 86 patients with BG ICH who underwent an operation at the Department of Neurosurgery of our Hospital from September 2011 to October 2014. Thirteen patients underwent craniotomy and the TS-TI microsurgical approach for hematoma evacuation. Twenty-seven patients underwent conventional craniotomy with the trans-cortical transtemporal (TC-TT) approach, and 46 patients underwent a burrhole operation and hematoma drainage using a frameless stereotaxic device (ST).

resultsThe average age distribution was similar. The preoperative Glasgow coma scale (GCS) was similar for the TC-TT and TS-TI groups. The pre-operative hematoma levels were higher in the TC-TT (109.4 ± 48.6 mL) and TS-TI (96.0 ± 39.0 mL) groups than in the ST group (46.5 ± 23.5 mL). The hematoma removal rate was 77% in the TC-TT group, 88% in the TS-TI group, and 34% in the ST group. The mean maintenance period of a hematoma catheter was 3.6 days in the ST group. The clinical outcome showed correlation with the preoperative neurological symptoms.

conclusionThe TS-TI group was superior to the TC-TT group for evacuation of an intracerebral hematoma.
