Intractable subdural effusion after decompressive craniectomy for traumatic brain injury: A case report.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundTraumatic subdural effusion is a common complication of traumatic brain injury, especially after decompressive craniectomy (DC). For neurosurgeons, early diagnosis and timely treatment are particularly important, which can help improve patient prognosis and enhance quality of life. CASE SUMMARY: A 47 year old male underwent DC for traumatic brain herniation. After surgery, he developed stubborn subdural effusion (SDE) on the contralateral side and underwent multiple subdural drilling and drainage surgeries, but only temporarily improved the patient's symptoms. After the final cranioplasty, the contralateral SDE completely disappeared. The patient did not experience any new contralateral neurological dysfunction, and the Glasgow prognostic score was 11 points (E4V1M6).
conclusionFor neurosurgeons, accurate assessment of the condition is necessary when treating patients with stubborn SDE after DC surgery, and timely cranioplasty can be performed to avoid multiple surgeries. This is a safe and effective surgical method for treating traumatic subdural effusion.
