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

Background: The objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the pathogenesis, clinical course, and prognosis of patients who suffer from aneurysm rupture, leading to subdural hematoma (SDH) of the infratentorial space without associated subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Methods: Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, a literature review was conducted in PubMed and Scopus electronic databases for relevant published cases of aneurysmal SDH (AnSDH) of the infratentorial compartment without associated SAH. The presentation, treatment, clinical course, and outcome of identified cases are compiled. In addition, a patient suffering from an infratentorial SDH following aneurysm rupture is presented with an illustrative case. Results: Three articles were identified and met inclusion criteria. All cases occurred from ruptured posterior communicating artery aneurysms. All patients arrived with a Hunt and Hess classification of 2 or less. Only one case was managed with operative aneurysm clipping and hematoma evacuation while the other three cases were managed endovascularly. There were no reported postoperative complications, vasospasm, or seizures reported. All patients had a final Modified Rankin score of 3 or less at last reported follow-up. Conclusion: Infratentorial AnSDH without associated SAH is an etiology rarely reported in the literature. Here, we present a case report and systematic review demonstrating a relatively benign clinical course and outcome compared to report aneurysm rupture associated with SAH or mixed SAH and SDH. Moreover, there appear to be lower rates of vasospasm and improved outcomes in patients with isolated AnSDH compared to the literature aneurysmal SAH rates.
