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
Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the clinical value of minimally invasive surgery for intracranial hematoma removal and high intracranial pressure (ICP) reduction using a novel three-needle brain puncture technique. Methods: A total of 202 cases with supratentorial hematoma were analyzed, 54 of whom received three-needle brain puncture (study group), and the remaining cases received single-needle (control groups 1 and 2) and two-needle brain puncture (control group 3). The amount of intracranial hematoma removed, changes in ICP, retention time of puncture needle, volume of residual blood, the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, and postoperative survival rate were used as indexes to evaluate patient outcomes. Results: We found that three-needle brain puncture (study group) can remove more intracranial hematoma (P < 0.05) and achieve lower ICP (P < 0.05) than single- and two-needle brain puncture (control group). The needle retention time and volume of residual blood significantly decreased in the study group. Additionally, a statistically significant difference was observed in the NIHSS scores and survival rates between the study and control groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion: These data suggest that three-needle minimally invasive stereotactic puncture can effectively remove hematoma, reduce ICP, decrease the degree of brain damage, and improve prognosis.
