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

Background: Although uncommon, cerebellar contusions are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Literature is lacking in the prognostic and morphological factors relating to their clinical picture and outcomes, especially within children. The objective of this study is to evaluate prognostic and anatomic factors in the clinical picture of cerebellar contusions, including effacement of the 4 Methods: This is a retrospective chart review over 11 years across two medical centers. Patients included were under 18 years who presented with a cerebellar contusion. Patients were stratified within the study group based on discharge Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) and reviewed for prognostic factors contributing to outcome. Mid sagittal area of the 4 Results: A total of 21 patients met the study criteria, of which 16 (76.2%) were male, with an average patient age of 8.65 years. Poor outcome at discharge (GOS <4) was associated with decreased admission Glasgow coma scale ( Conclusion: There are multiple prognostic factors associated with the overall outcome following cerebellar contusions. The rate of good outcomes in this study was superior to that in previous studies in adults.
