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
backgroundIntrahospital transportation (IHT) of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) is common and may have adverse consequences, incurring inherent risks. The data on the frequency and severity of clinical complications linked with IHT are contradictory, and there is no agreement on whether it is safe or potentially challenging for neurocritical care unit patients. Continuous intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is essential in neurointensive care. The role of ICP monitoring and management of cerebral autoregulation impairments in IHT of patients with severe TBI is underinvestigated. The purpose of this nonrandomized retrospective single-center study was to assess the dynamics of ICP and an improved pressure reactivity index (iPRx) as a measure of autoregulation during IHT.
methodsSeventy-seven men and fourteen women with severe TBI admitted in 2012-2022 with a mean age of 33.2 ± 5.2 years were studied. ICP and arterial pressure were invasively monitored, and cerebral perfusion pressure and iPRx were calculated from the measured parameters. All patients were subjected to dynamic helical computed tomography angiography using a 64-slice scanner Philips Ingenuity computed tomography scan 1-2 days after TBI. Statistical analysis of all results was done using a paired t-test, and p was preset at < 0.05. The logistic regression analysis was performed for cerebral ischemia development dependent on intracranial hypertension and cerebrovascular reactivity.
resultsIHT led to an increase in ICP in all the patients, especially during vertical movement in an elevator (maximum 75.2 mm Hg). During the horizontal transportation on the floor, ICP remained increased (p < 0.05). The mean ICP during IHT was significantly higher (26.1 ± 13.5 mm Hg, p < 0.001) than that before the IHT (19.9 ± 5.3 mm Hg). The mean iPRx after and before IHT was 0.52 ± 0.04 and 0.23 ± 0.14, respectively (p < 0.001).
conclusionsBoth horizontal and vertical transportation causes a significant increase in ICP and iPRx in patients with severe TBI, potentially leading to the outcome worsening.
