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

CT head has been increasingly performed in the Emergency Department for patients presented with trauma, acute neurological or psychological symptoms. Most of the emergency physicians and radiologists have undergone dedicated training and are capable of identifying and interpreting life-threatening cerebral pathologies. However, as most attention is directed to the brain, the extracerebral non-traumatic pathologies on CT head can easily be overlooked, and some of them harbour clinically significant pathologies. We categorise the extracerebral anatomic landmarks, illustrate and describe the representative pathologies from each category. The purpose of this article is to increase awareness and familiarity on the non-traumatic extracerebral pathologies, with the aim of achieving comprehensive interpretation of CT head.
