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
Traumatic posterior fossa extradural hematoma (PFEDH) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. It is characterized by the accumulation of blood between the dura mater and occipital bone, leading to compression of the brainstem. We report the case of a 25-year-old male who presented to the emergency department following a fall, exhibiting confusion and a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 14. Imaging revealed a significant acute epidural hematoma with associated mass effect, frontal hemorrhagic contusion, and right transverse sinus rupture. The initial hematoma volume was calculated to be 44.41 cm3 using the ellipsoid formula. Prompt neurosurgical intervention was performed, including craniotomy for hematoma evacuation and suction tube placement. Despite a decline in GCS score postoperatively, subsequent surgical management led to hematoma resolution and neurological improvement. The hematoma volume had decreased to 33.19 cm3 after the second intervention. After 15 days, the patient achieved a GCS score of 15. Our case highlights the importance of early recognition, emergent surgical intervention, and standardized management protocols for the treatment of PFEDH. In addition, it emphasizes the value of quantitative hematoma measurements in guiding treatment decisions. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to alleviate the potentially fatal consequences of this rare neurological condition.
