Factors influencing the results of surgical therapy of non-acute subdural haematomas.
Article in European journal of trauma and emergency surgery : official publication of the European Trauma Society, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeTo identify predictive factors with an impact on the outcome of surgical treatment of non-acute subdural haematomas (NASH).
methodsOne hundred eleven patients who underwent an evacuation of 132 NASH by means of burr hole or craniotomy from January 2014 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. We evaluated the impact of factors that could possibly predict the result of surgical treatment. The assessment was focused on the impact of factors, such as age, gender, pre-operative clinical symptoms, timing and extent of surgical procedure, intake of anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs, morphological type, recurrence, side localization or bilateral occurrence of NASH. Patients' functional outcome was quantified using the Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS) with a follow-up period of 3 months.
resultsMorphological type of NASH did not have any significant impact on the final GOS. The risk factors associated with less favorable GOS included preoperative intake of anticoagulants and preoperative finding of phatic disorder, quantitative disorder of consciousness and disorientation. Preoperative intake of antiplatelet drugs or anticoagulants and craniotomy were risk factors for postoperative development of a surgically significant acute extracerebral haematoma. The complications occurred significantly more often after a craniotomy when compared to the burr hole evacuation (p = 0.0163), but the incidence of recurrence of NASH was significantly lower (p = 0.0439).
conclusionThe risk factors for the surgical treatment of NASH included preoperative intake of antithrombotic drugs and evacuation of NASH through craniotomy. Craniotomy resulted in a significantly lower incidence of recurrence.
