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

Hemorrhage volume is an important variable in emergently assessing traumatic brain injury (TBI). The most widely used method for rapid volume estimation is ABC/2, a simple algorithm that approximates lesion geometry as perfectly ellipsoid. The relative prognostic value of volume measurement based on more precise hematoma topology remains unknown. In this study, we compare volume measurements obtained using ABC/2 versus computer-assisted volumetry (CAV) for both intra- and extra-axial traumatic hemorrhages, and then quantify the association of measurements using both methods with patient outcome following moderate to severe TBI. A total of 517 computer tomography (CT) scans acquired during the Progesterone for Traumatic Brain Injury Experimental Clinical Treatment Phase-III (ProTECTIII) multi-center trial were retrospectively reviewed. Lesion volumes were measured using ABC/2 and CAV. Agreement between methods was tested using Bland-Altman analysis. Relationship of volume measurements with 6-month mortality, Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS-E), and Disability Rating Scale (DRS) were assessed using linear regression and area under the curve (AUC) analysis.
