Noninvasive evaluation of intracranial pressure in patients with traumatic brain injury by transcranial Doppler ultrasound.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
introductionThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between pulsatility index (PI) or optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), and the ability of ONSD and ICP to predict intracranial hypertension.
methodsA total of 68 patients with TBI were included in this retrospective study. After receiving surgery treatment, they underwent transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD). The statistical correlation between PI or ONSD and ICP 1 week after surgery was analyzed. Furthermore, the areas under the curve (AUCs) of ONSD or PI or a combination of them were calculated to predict intracranial hypertension.
resultsThere was a correlation between ONSD and ICP. This correlation still remained at ONSD ≥ 5 mm. Furthermore, there was a strong correlation between PI and ICP. There was a moderate correlation between ICP and PI on days 3, 4, and 5 after surgery (r = 0.508, p < .001), and a strong correlation on days 6 and 7 after surgery (r = 0.645, p < .001). Moreover, for predicting intracranial hypertension with PI ≥ 1.2 mm or ONSD ≥ 5 mm or a combination of them, the AUC was 0.729, 0.900, and 0.943, respectively (p < .001).
conclusionsThe correlation between ONSD or PI and invasive ICP was different with different levels of ICP in different periods in patients with TBI after surgery. When ONSD ≥ 5 mm and PI ≥ 1.2, it could predict elevated ICP more accurately.
