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

We report a patient suffering from spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) who, following a non-selective lumbar blood patch, returned to his healthcare provider with severe symptoms of neurological deficits. It was subsequently discovered that the aforementioned deficits were due to a bilateral subdural hematoma, and an emergency surgical drainage of the hematoma has been performed. However, the hematoma reformed and potential cerebrospinal fluid leakage was consequently investigated through myelography. Following the diagnostic finding of a venous diverticulum, a selective blood patch was executed in the affected area, and in order to stabilize the hematoma, an embolization of the middle meningeal arteries was performed. The combination of such operations allowed for the resorption of the hematoma and the improvement of neurological symptoms.
