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

This study systematically compares various methods for calculating brainstem hematoma volume, and introduces a novel estimation method based on the maximum cross-sectional area. First, we assessed the accuracy of the Tada formula and 3D Slicer software for quantifying brainstem hematomas of different sizes and morphologies. The results revealed significant differences among methods, with the traditional Tada formula frequently overestimating hematoma volumes. We therefore propose an improved algorithm that substantially increases both the accuracy and reliability of hematoma volume assessment. Experimental results demonstrate that this new method provides greater precision and consistency when measuring the volume of irregular hematomas. These findings not only contribute to improved diagnosis and treatment of brainstem hemorrhage but also provide valuable support for future research and practical applications.
