Spontaneous subgaleal haematoma with severe headache in two children during acute painful sickle cell crisis.
Article in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Sickle cell disease is an inherited disorder of haemoglobin formation, predominantly affecting individuals of African, Indian, or Mediterranean descent. Acute painful episodes frequently occur in these patients due to the blockage of small blood vessels by sickled cells, leading to tissue infarction. Two children of Nigerian descent, presented with severe headaches during a painful crisis episode with associated swelling on their scalps. CT imaging in both cases showed subgaleal haematoma which was managed conservatively in addition to managing the painful crisis with a good outcome. This report highlights the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and management of this uncommon complication of sickle cell anaemia.
