1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Hydrocephalus (HCP) is far more complicated than a simple disorder of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation. HCP is a common complication in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and after craniectomy. Clinical measurement in HCP is mainly related to intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral blood flow. The ability to obtain quantitative variables that describe CSF dynamics at the bedside before potential shunting may support clinical intuition with a description of CSF dysfunction and differentiation between normal pressure hydrocephalus and brain atrophy. This review discusses the advanced research on HCP and how CSF is generated, stored and absorbed within the context of a mathematical model developed by Marmarou. Then, we proceed to explain the main quantification analysis of CSF dynamics using infusion techniques for deciding on definitive treatment. We consider that such descriptions of multiple parameters of measurements need to be significantly appreciated by the caring neuro-intensivist, for better understanding of the complex pathophysiology and clinical management and finally, improve of the prognosis of these patients with HCP.
