Randomized controlled study on the curative effects of twist-drill craniotomy and burr-hole craniotomy in the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The present randomized controlled study investigated the differences in the curative effects of twist-drill craniotomy (TDC) and burr-hole craniotomy (BHC) in the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). A total of 40 patients diagnosed with CSDH via head computed tomography (CT) who required surgical decompression from January 2016 to January 2017 were enrolled in the present study, and were randomly divided into a TDC group (n=20) and a BHC group (n=20). The modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores of patients were recorded prior to the operation, and at 48 h and 3 months after the operation. The differences in the mRS score (V
