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

Chronic subdural hematomas (cSDH) are often managed with a burr-hole craniostomy and drainage, but surgery is associated with elevated mortality, morbidity, and recurrence. Despite reports of steroid use for such patients, its efficacy and feasibility are still debated. We present our patient series treated with low-dose hydrocortisone. We retrospectively reviewed data from patients treated with hydrocortisone between 2017 and 2023. Demographics, clinical and radiological data were collected. Of 27 patients identified, nine required a burr-hole craniotomy for an average volume of 120.23 cm
