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: Delayed neuropsychiatric sequelae (DNS) occurs in 10%-30% of acute carbon monoxide poisoning cases. Patients with this condition present higher brain dysfunction. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy was reportedly an effective treatment for DNS in the acute phase. Favorable predictive factors affecting the prognosis of patients with DNS after HBO therapy include younger age and longer interictal periods. However, the relationship between these factors and neuroimaging findings remains unclear. Case Presentation: The patient was a 59-year-old man with DNS, who developed major depressive disorder and attempted suicide with charcoal briquettes. He was diagnosed with carbon monoxide poisoning and underwent acute HBO therapy. After a 1-month lucid period, the patient developed intermittent carbon monoxide poisoning with cognitive dysfunction, following which HBO therapy was re-initiated. Following treatment, the patient returned to work for 10 years. Frontal lobe hypoperfusion, measured by single-photon emission computed tomography and cognitive impairment, improved with HBO therapy. However, magnetic resonance imaging revealed brain volume atrophy over time. Conclusion: This study reported a case of DNS that completely resolved within a 10-year follow-up period. Cerebral blood flow reduction, mainly in the frontal lobe, improved along with cognitive recovery during HBO therapy. Despite gradually progressive brain atrophy over the past decade, no noted deficits in cerebral blood flow were observed in the frontal lobes. These findings suggest that improvement in cerebral blood flow during HBO therapy and its retention may be factors associated with a favorable prognosis in patients with DNS.
