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

Blunt trauma can often result in multi-organ injury. Traumatic brain injury with significant intracranial hemorrhage is usually addressed with surgical intervention to prevent further injury, particularly in the presence of midline shift. Concurrent liver injury and hemorrhage can present challenges in management. Here, we discuss the case of a 46-year-old male who presented after a motor vehicle crash and was found to have a subdural hematoma (SDH) with midline shift and herniation, which was determined to be non-survivable by neurosurgery. On cross-sectional imaging, the patient was additionally found to have a Grade V liver injury with extension into the inferior vena cava. No surgical interventions were performed for the intracranial hemorrhage or intra-abdominal injuries. The patient did not succumb to these injuries, but had a decrease in the size of the intracranial hemorrhage, and eventually regained consciousness during the hospital course, surviving to discharge.
