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

The aim of this review article is to outline the effectiveness of using bedside ultrasound to measure the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) in order to identify variations in intracranial pressure (ICP) and subsequently avoid the complication of secondary brain injury in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), who are admitted to an emergency department (ED). Reputable publications and numerous studies demonstrate the problem's exponential rampancy and pervasiveness. In a TBI patient, the emergence of secondary brain damage has been recognized as a serious emergency. It is believed that secondary brain damage is caused by an abnormally high ICP. High levels of ICP can be measured using both invasive and non-invasive approaches. ONSD measurement via bedside ultrasound has been identified as a quick, useful technique to be used in the ED to avoid potential morbidity and mortality owing to secondary brain injury.
