Correlation between Head Trauma and Outcome of Chronic Subdural Hematoma.

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
objectiveOur study examined the prognostic factors involved in the outcome of patients with chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) who had undergone burr hole drainage procedures, and investigated the association between outcome and traumatic head injury. In addition, we explored factors related to recurrence.
methodsThis study enrolled 238 patients with CSDH who had undergone burr hole drainage. Patients with history of head injury were categorized into the head trauma group and were compared with the no head trauma group. Outcome was considered good when modified Rankin Scale scores improved from admission to discharge and the final follow-up.
resultsAmong 238 patients, 127 (53.4%) were included in the head trauma group. One hundred thirty-three (55.9%) patients demonstrated good outcome at discharge, and 171 (71.8%) patients demonstrated good outcome at the final follow-up. None of the factors examined was significantly correlated with good outcome at discharge. However, only history of head injury (
conclusionHistory of head trauma is correlated with poor outcome at long-term follow-up in CSDH patients having undergone burr hole drainage. Therefore, CSDH patients with history of head injury are susceptible to poor outcome, warranting more careful evaluation and treatment after burr hole drainage.
