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

objectiveChronic pain is a common symptom experienced by patients after spontaneous epidural hematoma (SSEH), and it seriously affects their quality of life. The outcome and prognosis of chronic pain after SSEH are rarely reported. Thus, we conduct this study to present the outcomes and explore prognostic factors of chronic pain in patients with SSEH.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed patients diagnosed with SSEH and invited them to complete the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) and Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI) scales. Pearson χ

resultsA total of 55 patients were reviewed; 21 patients (38.2%) were lost to follow-up, 3 patients (5.4%) died, and 31 patients (56.4%) completed the scales, with a mean follow-up time of 20.6 ± 17.3 months. The ASIA and NPSI results showed significant improvement after surgery. Pearson χ

conclusionChronic pain is a common symptom during follow-up after SSEH, and timely intervention is suggested to obtain satisfactory outcomes. Patients who receive emergent surgery within 12 h or who have a preoperative NPSI score of 11-20 may achieve significant relief of chronic pain.
