Neuroendoscopic Approach of a Massive Bilateral Chronic Subdural Hematoma in a Child Using a Single Burr Hole.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
There are several treatment modalities for the management of subdural fluid collection in infants, such as fontanelle puncture and drainage, burr hole irrigation, and subduroperitoneal shunt. This report describes the case of a girl born with congenital neurological impairment due to severe injury of the brain with unknown etiology. At five months of age, she suffered from head trauma and developed somnolence after three days and was diagnosed with a bilateral massive chronic subdural hematoma. Normal fundoscopy did not confirm the non-accidental head trauma. Neuroendoscopy using a single burr hole was performed and complete drainage was achieved. Arachnoid tearing was observed during the procedure. Postoperatively, the patient showed clinical improvement, and brain expansion was observed after one month. The main advantages of neuroendoscopy for bilateral massive chronic subdural hematoma are accurate visualization of the space, minimal invasiveness, and treatment of both sides with reliable drainage control.
