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: Cerebral microdialysis enables monitoring of brain metabolism and can be an important part of multimodal monitoring strategies in a variety of brain injuries. Microdialysis catheters can be placed in brain parenchyma through a burr hole, a cranial bolt, or directly at the time of an open craniotomy or craniectomy. The location of catheters in relation to brain pathology is important to the interpretation of data and guidance of interventions. Methods: Here we retrospectively review the use of cerebral microdialysis at a US Regional Medical Center between March 2018 and February 2022 and provide detailed descriptions and technical nuances of the different methods to place microdialysis catheters. Results: Eighty two unique microdialysis catheters were utilized in 52 patients. 35 (42.68%) were placed Conclusion: With careful planning and thoughtful execution, cerebral microdialysis catheters can be successfully placed though a variety of strategies to optimize and individualize brain monitoring in different clinical settings. This paper provides a detailed guide for the various methods of catheter placement to help providers begin or expand their use of cerebral microdialysis.
