Delayed Recognition, Surgical Dilemmas, and Complications: A Case Report of Acute-on-Chronic Subdural Hematoma With Ischemic Stroke.

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
Acute-on-chronic subdural hematoma (SDH) is a new hemorrhage on a preexisting hematoma in the space between the dura mater and the arachnoid layer. Although chronic SDH is common, acute-on-chronic SDH is not. Herein, we present a case of a 70-year-old male with ischemic heart disease, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension who presented with worsening headaches for the past three days, associated with gait imbalance and dizziness. The patient was vitally stable on examination with a Glasgow Coma Scale/Score (GCS) of 15/15; his pupils were reactive bilaterally; and his neurological examination was unremarkable. Non-contrast computed tomography (CT) of the head yielded acute and chronic SDH. The patient was initially managed by embolization of the middle meningeal artery (EMMA), but one day later he developed a stroke. Hence, thrombectomy and burr hole craniotomy were performed to manage the stroke and evacuate the chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). This paper presents this case as uncommon acute on chronic SDH presented with headache and vertigo, treated with embolization and with complications of stroke and pulmonary embolism.
