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

Neurosurgical procedures often cause damage to the brain tissue at the periphery from surgical manipulations. Especially during retraction, a large amount of pressure could be applied on the brain surface, which can damage it, leading to brain herniation, which can be fatal for patients. To resolve this issue, we have developed a pressure sensor that can be used to monitor the applied pressure during surgery for intraoperative care. This device was tested on a rodent model to create a superficial surgically induced damage profile for three different applied pressures (30, 50, and 70 mmHg) and compared to a standard intracranial pressure monitoring system. Magnetic resonance imaging has been performed after surgical procedures to detect the herniation caused by applied pressure. To evaluate the damage to brain cells and tissue rupture, histological analysis was performed using hematoxylin and eosin staining. A scoring system was developed to understand the severity of the surgically induced brain injury, which will help neurosurgeons to limit the pressure to an optimum point without causing damage.
