Patients with Prior Craniectomy or Craniotomy Have No Increased Risk of Acute Hemorrhage after Mild Traumatic Brain Injury.

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
The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the risk of acute hemorrhagic complications in patients after either a decompressive craniectomy or a craniotomy sustaining a recurrent mild traumatic brain injury. Furthermore, we analyze whether there is a higher risk for acute hemorrhagic complications considering patients with anticoagulation compared with patients without anticoagulation in both groups. All patients with mild traumatic brain injuries after either decompressive craniectomy or craniotomy, treated between January 2005 and December 2020 at a single level 1 trauma center, were included in this retrospective analysis. Patients were screened for intracranial bleeding after mild traumatic brain injury with computed tomography. Additionally, the type of anticoagulation and its relationship concerning the clinical outcome were assessed. A total of 188 patients who had sustained a mild traumatic brain injury were included in the study. Overall, 22 patients (11.7%) presented intracranial lesions. A bony defect (decompressive craniectomy) was present in 31 patients (16.5%). In 157 patients (83.5%) who underwent decompressive craniectomy, the bony defect was closed during a second operation. There was no significant correlation between both groups on the occurrence of intracranial bleeding (
