Trauma Mechanisms and Surgical Outcomes in the Elderly Patient with Chronic Subdural Hematoma.

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: Chronic subdural hematoma is the preeminent neurosurgical condition in the older population. This retrospective single-centre study focuses on outcome after surgery of chronic subdural hematoma in patients over 70 years. Methods: Patients treated at a single neurosurgical referral centre between 2010 and 2014 were screened. Included patients were assessed for comorbid conditions, lifestyle factors, and outcomes including recurrence, mortality, and postoperative complications. Results: A total of 511 patients (70-97 yrs) were identified. 50.7% of patients were treated with anticoagulants and/or antiplatelet therapy. A known probable cause for the hematoma was found in 68.1% of patient's histories. Mortality rate was 3.1% and recurrence was seen in 49 patients (9.6%). Postoperative complications were more common in patients with excessive use of alcohol ( Conclusion: Fall injuries are the most common underlying trauma mechanism in the elderly with chronic subdural hematoma. Recurrence is not more common in the elderly patient group compared to the general population. Excessive alcohol use is a risk factor for post-operative complications.
