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

Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid hypovolemia (SCFH) is an uncommon entity in neurosurgical practice. Without early recognition and management, some patients with SCFH can develop chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). Generally, management of patients with SCFH without CSDH is relatively straightforward. However, this circumstance becomes more complicated in patients with concurrent CSDH. Treatment measures simply based on the respective management principles of SCFH and CSDH are insufficient or even disastrous. Our previous study showed that reinforced restriction of physical activity was a promising strategy in managing CSDH in the general population. We applied this strategy in three consecutive patients with SCFH and massive CSDH. All of the patients experienced complete resolution of CSDH. This study not only enriches the basic theory of formation and progression of CSDH, but also demonstrates that reinforced restriction of physical activity could be treated as an alternative or adjuvant management of CSDH secondary to SCFH.
