Accuracy of bedside bidimensional transcranial ultrasound versus tomodensitometric measurement of the third ventricle.

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
background and purposeTo evaluate the accuracy of transcranial duplex sonography (TCS) for measuring the diameter of the third ventricle (DTV) and the brain midline shift (MLS), as compared to cerebral CT.
methodsSingle-center retrospective study including 177 patients admitted to the neurological intensive care unit (NICU). We studied the correlation between TCS and CT measurements of DTV and MLS using a Bland-Altman analysis. The best threshold of DTV to diagnose acute hydrocephalus was evaluated with a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.
resultsWe analyzed 177 pairs of CT-TCS measurements for DTV and 165 for MLS. The mean time interval between CT and TCS was 87 ± 73 minutes. Median DTV measurement on CT was 4 ± 3 mm, and 5 ± 3 mm by TCS. Median MLS on CT was 2 ± 3 mm, and 2 ± 4 mm by TCS. The Pearson correlation coefficient (r
conclusionsTCS seems to be a reliable and accurate bedside technique for measuring both DTV and MLS, which might allow detection of acute hydrocephalus among NICU patients.
