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

Introduction: This international prospective multicenter cohort study investigates the long-term surgical complication rate and neurological outcomes in patients who underwent autologous or allogeneic cranioplasty (CP) after decompressive craniectomy (DC) for traumatic brain injury, stroke, aneurysmatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, and intracranial hemorrhage. Research question: This study investigated the predictors of long-term outcomes and surgical revision after cranioplasty. Materials and methods: Patients who underwent CP with a minimum follow-up of at least 12 months were included. Favorable long-term outcome (FLTO) was defined as a Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS) of 4 or 5 and a modified Rankin scale (mRS) score of <4. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Results: A total of 200 patients with a median follow-up of 883.1 Discussion and conclusion: Suction drains were predicted to reduce reoperation rates. Simultaneous implantation of VPS and CP within 3 months of DC predicted an increased likelihood of surgical revision.
