Diagnosis and management of elevated intracranial pressure in the emergency department.
Review in International journal of emergency medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07786324 (Comparison of 3% Hypertonic Saline Versus 20% Mannitol in Reduction of Increased Intracranial Pressure in Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury Using Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter Measurements''), which is not on this map. Cited by 18 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.

Abstract
backgroundElevated intracranial pressure is a devastating complication of catastrophic brain injury. Intracranial hypertension is commonly seen in neurologic injury secondary to traumatic brain injuries. Uncontrolled pressures can lead to permanent neurologic damage, but acute medical management is often overlooked when pursuing surgical management options that may not always be indicated. DISCUSSION: Traumatic brain injury is the leading cause of death in patients with severe neurologic injury. Diagnosing elevated intracranial pressures is imperative in initiating prompt treatment to reduce secondary central nervous system injury, morbidity, and mortality. Although the initial injury to the brain is typically irreversible, intracranial pressure control can assist in salvaging the remaining brain tissue from additional damage. We will discuss the initial medical and surgical management of traumatic brain injury to prevent further neurologic deterioration and reduce mortality.
conclusionRecent literature has reported several methods to detect elevated intracranial pressure easily and studies describing multiple treatment modalities. These investigations suggest that early detection and timely treatment of intracranial hypertension are beneficial in reducing mortality.
