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

Noninvasive neuromonitoring is increasingly being used to monitor the course of primary brain injury and limit secondary brain damage of patients in the neurocritical care unit. Proposed advantages over invasive neuromonitoring methods include a lower risk of infection and bleeding, no need for surgical installation, mobility and portability of some devices, and safety. The question, however, is whether noninvasive neuromonitoring is practical and trustworthy enough already. We searched the recent literature and reviewed English-language studies on noninvasive neuromonitoring in subarachnoid hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, and ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke between the years 2010 and 2015. We found 88 studies that were eligible for review including the methods transcranial ultrasound, electroencephalography, evoked potentials, near-infrared spectroscopy, bispectral index, and pupillometry. Noninvasive neuromonitoring cannot yet completely replace invasive methods in most situations, but has great potential being complementarily integrated into multimodality monitoring, for guiding management, and for limiting the use of invasive devices and in-hospital transports for imaging.
