Clinical Evaluation of a Microwave-Based Device for Detection of Traumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage.
Article in Journal of neurotrauma, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02282228 (Detecting Chronic Subdural Hematoma With Microwave Technology - An Open Study Evaluating the Sensitivity and Specificity of a Microwave-based Device, Medfield Strokefinder MD100, to Detect Chronic Subdural Hematoma), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death and disability among young persons. A key to improve outcome for patients with TBI is to reduce the time from injury to definitive care by achieving high triage accuracy. Microwave technology (MWT) allows for a portable device to be used in the pre-hospital setting for detection of intracranial hematomas at the scene of injury, thereby enhancing early triage and allowing for more adequate early care. MWT has previously been evaluated for medical applications including the ability to differentiate between hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke. The purpose of this study was to test whether MWT in conjunction with a diagnostic mathematical algorithm could be used as a medical screening tool to differentiate patients with traumatic intracranial hematomas, chronic subdural hematomas (cSDH), from a healthy control (HC) group. Twenty patients with cSDH and 20 HC were measured with a MWT device. The accuracy of the diagnostic algorithm was assessed using a leave-one-out analysis. At 100% sensitivity, the specificity was 75%-i.e., all hematomas were detected at the cost of 25% false positives (patients who would be overtriaged). Considering the need for methods to identify patients with intracranial hematomas in the pre-hospital setting, MWT shows promise as a tool to improve triage accuracy. Further studies are under way to evaluate MWT in patients with other intracranial hemorrhages.
