Complications of Intracranial Multimodal Monitoring for Neurocritical Care: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Neurocritical care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Intracranial multimodal monitoring (iMMM) is increasingly used for neurocritical care. However, concerns arise regarding iMMM invasiveness considering limited evidence in its clinical significance and safety profile. We conducted a synthesis of evidence regarding complications associated with iMMM to delineate its safety profile. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis (PROSPERO Registration Number: CRD42021225951) according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis and Peer Review of Electronic Search Strategies guidelines to retrieve evidence from studies reporting iMMM use in humans that mention related complications. We assessed risk of bias using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and funnel plots. The primary outcomes were iMMM complications. The secondary outcomes were putative risk factors. Of the 366 screened articles, 60 met the initial criteria and were further assessed by full-text reading. We included 22 studies involving 1206 patients and 1434 iMMM placements. Most investigators used a bolt system (85.9%) and a three-lumen device (68.8%), mainly inserting iMMM into the most injured hemisphere (77.9%). A total of 54 postoperative intracranial hemorrhages (pooled rate of 4%; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0-10%; I
