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

Cerebral air embolism (CAE) is a rare, yet potentially devastating condition characterized by entrance of air into cerebral vasculature, that is nearly always iatrogenic. While many findings of CAE are subclinical and incidental at computed tomography (CT), there remain cases of catastrophic and fatal embolisms. Increasing physician awareness of prevention, presentation, and treatment for CAE is crucial for reducing morbidity and mortality. In this case series, we highlight this preventable entity by comparing three cases of CAE that showcase a diverse array of presentations, radiologic findings, and clinical outcomes. We will also explore predisposing factors, prognostic predictors, diagnostic considerations, and available treatments.
