Cerebral perfusion changes in acute subdural hematoma.
Article in Acta neurochirurgica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
introductionAcute subdural hematoma (aSDH) is one of the main causes of high mortality and morbidity in traumatic brain injury. Prognosis is poor due to the rapid volume shift and mass effect. Cerebral perfusion is likely affected in this condition. This study quantifies perfusion changes in aSDH using early ER polytrauma CT with perfusion imaging (CTP).
methodsData of 54 patients with traumatic aSDH were retrospectively collected. Glasgow Coma scale (GCS), perfusion parameters, therapeutic decisions and imaging data including hematoma thickness, midline shift, and hematoma localization were analyzed. The cortical perfusion parameters of each hemisphere, the area anterior to the hematoma (AAH), area below the hematoma (ABH), area posterior to the hematoma (PAH), and corresponding mirrored contralateral regions were determined.
resultsWe found a significant difference in Tmax in affected and unaffected whole-hemisphere data (mean 4.0 s vs. 3.3 s, p < 0.05) and a significantly different mean for Tmax in ABH and for the corresponding mirrored area (mABH) (mean 3.8 s vs. 3.1 s, p < 0.05). No significant perfusion changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), and mean transit time (MTT) were found.
conclusionThere was a significant elevation of time to maximum (Tmax) values in the underlying cortical area of aSDH. Possible pathophysiological explanations, the influence on immediate surgical decision-making and further therapeutic consequences have to be evaluated.
