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

The rapid spontaneous resolution of an acute epidural hematoma (EDH) has rarely been reported. A possible mechanism of spontaneous resolution is egress of the hematoma into the subgaleal space through a skull fracture. We report a case of rapid redistribution of an acute EDH in a 37-year-old man who had a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor of the skull and who slipped and fell when going to the bathroom. A huge EDH without a skull fracture developed in the left parieto-occipital area. The acute EDH was completely alleviated and a newly developed intracerebral hematoma was found on a brain computed tomography scan that was acquired the day after the trauma. Given these findings, a fractured skull and increased pressure in the intradural area may have been the mechanisms underlying the redistribution of the hematoma.
