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

Subgaleal hemorrhages (SH) involve bleeding in the expansive compartment between the periosteum of the skull and the galea aponeurotica. The potentially rapid accumulation of blood in this space is responsible for the clinical severity, as neonates with SH can present with acute hypovolemia, shock and multiorgan failure. SH is associated with instrumented delivery, especially with use of vacuum extraction. Although infrequent, the incidence of SH has not decreased over the past several decades, despite improvements in obstetrical care. Management of severe SH is complex and requires cardiovascular support, management of co-existent encephalopathy, and most importantly correction of coagulopathy and anemia.
