Skip Island Craniotomy: A Technique for Managing Superior Sagittal Sinus Injury in Emergency Neurosurgery.

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
Superior sagittal sinus (SSS) injury can be a life-threatening condition. It is rarely injured by means of penetrating and nonpenetrating traumatic brain injury (TBI). Injury to the SSS can be a surgical challenge and thus provides a conundrum to neurosurgeons on its management in an acute emergency setting. We present a series of two cases that were successfully treated by a novel skip island craniotomy technique after suffering a penetrating and nonpenetrating TBI-related SSS injury, respectively. Both patients had a short period of ITU stay before being managed on the neurosurgery ward and went on to have no neurological deficits. The operative wounds healed well, and overall cosmesis was unaffected. Postoperative computed tomography head scans with 3D reconstruction in bone window demonstrate the island-like pattern with interval burr holes.
