Bedside transcranial sonography monitoring in a patient with hydrocephalus post subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Article in Critical ultrasound journal, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
backgroundDevelopment of hydrocephalus can occur after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Typically, it is diagnosed with computed tomography, CT, scan. However, transcranial sonography (TCS) can be used particularly in patients with craniotomy which removes the acoustic interference of the skull and allows a closer up visualization of brain structures through the skin. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 73-year-old woman who was hospitalized for SAH and developed acute hydrocephalus requiring an external ventricular drain (EVD). In this patient, detection and monitoring of hydrocephalus was done and monitored with a small pocket-sized TCS device. Nine days after surgery, weaning of the EVD was attempted. Prior to EVD closure and removal, TCS showed a measurement of the 3rd ventricle at around 1.16 cm. On the third day, the patient deteriorated clinically and the TCS showed a dilated 3rd ventricle measuring 1.37 cm which correlated well with computed tomography and with clinical signs of active hydrocephalus as both her sensorium and communication were affected. Subsequently following EVD re-installation, on the next day, TCS showed that the 3rd ventricle dimension was reduced to 0.99 cm and the following day it went down to 0.69 cm.
conclusionsPatients with SAH and in particular those with a craniotomy can be monitored easily at the bedside with hand-held TCS for the development and monitoring of hydrocephalus.
