Penetrating brain injury through the cavernous sinus by chopsticks in Vienamese: a case report.

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.
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
Introduction and importance: Penetrating brain injuries from chopsticks are exceedingly rare, often documented through case reports. Management strategies are tailored to individual cases, with a focus on mitigating postoperative complications. Case presentation: A 33-year-old male presented with a chopstick lodged in his right eye. Computed tomography (CT) imaging revealed two foreign bodies, prompting collaborative surgical removal by neurosurgery and ophthalmology teams. The procedure involved intricate bone drilling to access critical structures, ensuring a successful outcome with stability at 1-month follow-up. Clinical discussion: Common trajectories involve orbital roof penetration, posing risks of frontal lobe injury and intracerebral hematoma. Challenges arise with wooden foreign bodies, necessitating advanced imaging like CT angiography to assess vascular involvement. Surgical intervention offers benefits such as foreign body extraction, neurovascular protection, tissue debridement, hematoma evacuation, and dural repair. Conclusion: Although rare, chopstick-related penetrating brain injuries warrant vigilance in neurosurgical practice. Surgical intervention remains the cornerstone of treatment, ensuring optimal patient outcomes.
