Chronic Subdural Hematoma in a Middle-Aged Amateur Scuba Diver: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Scuba diving has become a common and popular activity, and adverse events can occur following this activity. Among those events, intracranial hemorrhage is very rare, and only intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage are reported. However, the occurrence of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH), possibly as an adverse event following scuba diving, has not been described. A 49-year-old man with no significant medical history visited our hospital complaining of memory disturbance and aphasia. He had experienced a minor head trauma five months before and had gone scuba diving six times between the traumatic episode and the visit to our hospital. A brain computed tomography scan revealed a left CSDH. The patient underwent burr-hole surgery to remove the CSDH, and his symptoms resolved. We report the first case of CSDH possibly related to scuba diving. No recurrence of CSDH was observed at 28 months postoperatively.
