Early Signs of Elevated Intracranial Pressure on Computed Tomography Correlate With Measured Intracranial Pressure in the Intensive Care Unit and Six-Month Outcome After Moderate to Severe Traumatic Brain Injury.
Article in Journal of neurotrauma, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability in the United States. Early triage and treatment after TBI have been shown to improve outcome. Identifying patients at risk for increased intracranial pressure (ICP) via baseline computed tomography (CT) , however, has not been validated previously in a prospective dataset. We hypothesized that acute CT findings of elevated ICP, combined with direct ICP measurement, hold prognostic value in terms of six-month patient outcome after TBI. Data were obtained from the Progesterone for Traumatic Brain Injury, Experimental Clinical Treatment (ProTECTIII) multi-center clinical trial. Baseline CT scans for 881 participants were individually reviewed by a blinded central neuroradiologist. Five signs of elevated ICP were measured (sulcal obliteration, lateral ventricle compression, third ventricle compression, midline shift, and herniation). Associations between signs of increased ICP and outcomes (six-month functional outcome and death) were assessed. Secondary analyses of 354 patients with recorded ICP monitoring data available explored the relationships between hemorrhage phenotype/anatomic location, sustained ICP ≥20 mm Hg, and surgical intervention(s). Univariate and multi-variate logistic/linear regressions were performed;
