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

Secondary brain injury impacts patient prognosis and can lead to long-term morbidity and mortality in cases of trauma. Continuous monitoring of secondary injury in acute clinical settings is primarily limited to intracranial pressure (ICP); however, ICP is unable to identify essential underlying etiologies of injury needed to guide treatment (e.g. immediate surgical intervention vs medical management). Here we show that a novel intracranial bioimpedance monitor (BIM) can detect onset of secondary injury, differentiate focal (e.g. hemorrhage) from global (e.g. edema) events, identify underlying etiology and provide localization of an intracranial mass effect. We found in an in vivo porcine model that the BIM detected changes in intracranial volume down to 0.38 mL, differentiated high impedance (e.g. ischemic) from low impedance (e.g. hemorrhagic) injuries (p < 0.001), separated focal from global events (p < 0.001) and provided coarse 'imaging' through localization of the mass effect. This work presents for the first time the full design, development, characterization and successful implementation of an intracranial bioimpedance monitor. This BIM technology could be further translated to clinical pathologies including but not limited to traumatic brain injury, intracerebral hemorrhage, stroke, hydrocephalus and post-surgical monitoring.
