Successful Treatment of Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension With Subdural Hematoma With Cervical Epidural Blood Patch: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is characterized by orthostatic headache. In severe cases, SIH can be complicated by symptomatic subdural hematoma. There is a lack of consistency and established treatment guidelines for the management of SIH. Lumbar epidural patch is the recommended first-line invasive treatment after failing conservative management. We present the case of a 42-year-old man with SIH complicated by symptomatic left subdural hematoma, which was successfully treated with surgical drainages and targeted cervical epidural blood patch. The primary aim of management of SIH is to stop cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and if the necessary specialty is available, targeted cervical epidural blood patch may be proposed as first-line invasive treatment. Symptomatic subdural hematoma should be managed with prompt action such as surgical drainage or middle meningeal artery embolization.
