Epidural Hematoma: The Outcome of Glucocorticoids' Complementary Use to Surgical Treatment.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe use of glucocorticoids in trauma patients with parenchymal damage is deemed unnecessary and is not advocated. Notwithstanding, acute epidural hematomas (aEH) are extra-parenchymal lesions, so the patients could benefit from the use of glucocorticoids. METHODOLOGY/
results97 patients with acute epidural hematoma were separated into two groups, whether they received glucocorticoid treatment or not. Depending on the severity of the deficit and their clinical status, some of the patients were operated on and others not. The patients who received glucocorticoids had better neurological status upon discharge, while their hospitalization was shorter.
conclusionsThe surgical management of the acute epidural hematomas in combination with glucocorticoid treatment had the best outcome in our protocol.
