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: Chronic supratentorial subdural hematoma is uncommon in neonates but accounts for most neurosurgical procedures in neonatal age. However, its occurrence in the posterior fossa is extremely rare. It can be caused by instrumental delivery, coagulation abnormality, hypoxic insult, and various structural abnormalities. Furthermore, spontaneous onset has been reported only in a few case reports. Case Presentation: A twenty-nine-day-old male neonate presented with failure to suck for three days duration associated with vomiting. Imaging showed bilateral posterior fossa chronic subdural hematoma and obstructive hydrocephalus. Bilateral burrhole craniostomy and hematoma evacuation was done which resulted in an excellent outcome. Conclusion: Posterior fossa chronic subdural hematoma is extremely rare in the neonatal period. It can be caused by various possible etiologic agents; however, rarely it can occur spontaneously. Management with suboccipital burrhole craniostomy and hematoma evacuation can result in a good outcome. Intraoperative monitoring and management with an experienced anesthesiology team are indispensable for a good outcome. Study Setting: Pediatrics neurosurgery ward, St Peter's Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
