Effectiveness of Goreisan in Preventing Recurrence of Chronic Subdural Hematoma.
Article in Asian journal of neurosurgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundBurr-hole irrigation surgery is now recognized as a widespread simple technique for the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). However, recurrence of CSDH is sometimes experienced after initial surgery. Recently, it has been reported that goreisan is effective in preventing CSDH recurrence. MATERIALS AND
methodsMethods: We studied patients with CSDH who received burr-hole irrigation at our hospital between January 2011 and December 2014. We divided these patients into three groups. The first group was given goreisan during the early phase after burr-hole irrigation. The second group was given goreisan when there was a visual tendency of recurrence, as observed in the course of computed tomography imaging for outpatients. The third group was not given any drug.
resultsThe recurrence rate was compared between each group. The recurrence rate was significantly lower in the early goreisan administration group (5% vs. 12%,
conclusionsGoreisan is effective in preventing recurrence of CSDH after burr-hole irrigation.
