Conservative Treatment of Chronic Subdural Hematoma with Gorei-san.
Article in Neurologia medico-chirurgica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Most asymptomatic patients with chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) are followed conservatively but can require surgical treatment if the hematoma expands. We conducted a retrospective evaluation of the effect of Gorei-san on CSDH. This study included patients treated between April 2013 and March 2015. In total, 289 patients were diagnosed with CSDH and 110 patients received conservative management. Finally, 39 patients who met the requirements were registered. We retrospectively examined the age, gender, medical history, hematoma thickness, clarity of sulci below hematomas, and midline shift of the patients. The primary outcome was the median surgery-free interval, and the secondary results were the rate of CSDH shrinkage and surgery avoidance. A comparison of patient characteristics between the Gorei-san (G) and non-Gorei-san (NG) groups found no significant differences in the percentage of men, average ages, past history, thickness of CSDH (15.0 ± 3.1 mm vs. 15.3 ± 2.6 mm, p = 0.801), or midline shift (2.0 ± 2.7 mm vs. 4.0 ± 5.0 mm, p = 0.230). The median surgery-free interval was significantly different between the G and NG groups [n. r. vs. 41 days (95% CI: 5-79), log-rank p = 0.047]. The CSDH avoidance rate was not significantly different between the two groups (70.0% vs. 34.4%, p = 0.071). Additionally, the CSDH shrinkage rate was significantly different between the two groups (60.0% vs. 10.3%, p = 0.004). This retrospective study demonstrated that CSDH treatment with Gorei-san reduces hematoma significantly more than treatment that does not include Gorei-san.
