Non-Traumatic Pneumocephalus and Sub-Dural Empyema as a Complication of Chronic Sinusitis.
Article in Cureus, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Infectious sinusitis is extremely common in children, and persistent infection can lead to many complications. The most dangerous and commonly reported complications are intracranial. These intracranial complications include pneumocephalus, cerebral abscess, subdural empyema, meningitis, cellulitis, orbital abscess, and cavernous sinus thrombosis. Pneumocephalus is the presence of air in the cranium and sometimes it can lead to intracranial infection and localized pus collection in the potential space between meninges. Herein, we report a case of a 12-year-old girl who presented to a pediatric emergency in a confused and disoriented state. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis provided a picture of bacterial meningitis, but her CT scan showed pneumocephalus and subdural empyema. This case report will help clinicians overcome this diagnostic challenge using the appropriate imaging and treatment modalities to prevent neurological sequelae.
