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

Objective: This paper aims to analyze the clinical effect and prognosis of neuroendoscopy-assisted surgery for chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). Methods: The clinical data of CSDH patients who underwent surgery between March 2018 and June 2020 in the Department of Neurosurgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Eighty patients with CSDH who met the inclusive criteria were selected. A control group (32 cases treated with burr hole drainage) and an observation group (48 cases treated with neuroendoscopy-assisted surgery) were set according to different operation methods. The hematoma clearance rate, surgery-related indicators, related complications, hematoma recurrence rate and related prognostic indicators of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Result: The postoperative hematoma clearance rate of the observation group was 92.59%, which was higher than that of the control group (77.78%) (P<0.05). The operation time of the observation group was longer than that of the control group (P<0.05). The postoperative hospitalization time of the observation group was shorter than that of the control group (P<0.05). The postoperative complication rate of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). The recurrence rate of hematoma in the observation group in the six-month postoperative follow-up was 1.85%, which was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The limb motor function and daily living ability score of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the Markwalder grading score was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Neuroendoscopy-assisted treatment which is safe and effective is superior to traditional burr-hole drainage surgery. It can reduce the recurrence rate; thus, it is worth advocating and applying.
