Traumatic Brain Injury With Concomitant Myocardial Infarction: A Clinical Dilemma.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 51-year-old male patient was brought to the emergency department (ED) by paramedics after an unwitnessed fall from a height while he was working. He sustained a severe head injury with a low Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS). After securing his airway and stabilizing the patient, a CT scan of the brain was done that revealed bilateral subdural hematomas, and an electrocardiogram (EKG) revealed an ST elevation inferior wall myocardial infarction (MI), which was suggested to be the cause of his fall. With the presence of two concomitant life-threatening medical conditions, it was a predicament which of the two pathologies to target first in treatment. Ultimately, a management plan was decided following a multidisciplinary urgent meeting in the ED, which was attended by all respective teams. Initial conservative management with close neurological and cardiovascular monitoring in the intensive care unit (ICU) was deemed the safest option in this case.
