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

Background: Radiographically, trabeculae have been observed commonly in chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) patients. Nevertheless, few authors have focused on how the trabeculae develop. We, herein, report a case of recurrent CSDH in which the evolution of trabeculae was observed with serial brain computed tomography. Case Description: A 75-year-old man with symptomatic left-sided CSDH who had undergone a burr-hole craniostomy 14 days in our institution earlier came back with a recurrent CSDH with trabeculae within the hematoma cavity. The trabeculae, which had not been present in the first surgery, developed relatively rapidly, converging toward the burr hole. The recurrent CSDH was successfully treated with the middle meningeal artery embolization. During the procedure, a vascular brush was observed around the burr hole, indicating the trabeculae were rich in blood flow. Conclusion: Surgical manipulation of the outer membrane during the first surgery might likely have elicited local inflammation and subsequent neovasculization of the outer membrane, resulting in trabeculae formation around the burr hole.
