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

backgroundMinimally invasive treatment of intracerebral hematomas is gaining importance following recent trials. Clot evacuation must minimise collateral damage while assuring optimal blood-volume reduction. Technical refinements call for systematic yet dynamic procedures, where ultrasound is an asset.

methodDescription of the "Scuba" procedure and workflow: stereotactic canula insertion, clot evacuation with aspiration-debriding system under endoscopic view. Step-by-step ultrasound findings detailed.

conclusionICH endoscopic evacuation may become a workhorse for cerebrovascular surgeons. Ultrasound provides real-time feedback on hematoma evacuation, becoming a reliable dynamic element in intraoperative decision-making. Yet, US requires a different operative setup and adds on to the learning curve.
