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 central nervous system (CNS) is less prone to infection owing to protection from the brain-blood barrier. However, craniotomy destroys this protection and increases the risk of infection in the brain of patients who have undergone craniotomy. CNS infection after craniotomy significantly increases the patient's mortality rate and disability. Controlling the occurrence of intracranial infection is very important for post-craniotomy patients. CNS infection after craniotomy is caused by several factors such as preoperative, intraoperative, and post-operative factors. Craniotomy may lead to postsurgical intracranial infection, which is mainly associated with surgery duration, infratentorial (posterior fossa) surgery, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, drainage tube placement, unregulated use of antibiotics, glucocorticoid use, age, diabetes, and other systemic infections. Understanding the risk factors of CNS infection after craniotomy can benefit reducing the incidence of intracranial infectious diseases. This will also provide the necessary guidance and evidence in clinical practice for planning to control intracranial infection in patients with craniotomy.
