Neuroimaging for neurovascular complications of traumatic brain injury.
Review in Critical care (London, England), 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 brain injury typically causes extra-axial and/or intra-axial bleeding including subarachnoid hemorrhage, intraparenchymal hemorrhage, subdural hematomas and epidural hematomas. Less commonly, trauma can cause cerebrovascular complications, which involve either the arterial or the venous side. Because of the rarity of these pathological conditions, guidelines and recommendations for their management are still controversial. MAIN BODY: The objective of this work is to describe the possible cerebrovascular complications of critically ill traumatic brain injured patients and to understand the most common underlying mechanisms and radiological features as well as their management. A variety of pathological entities will be addressed, such as post-traumatic aneurysms, carotid-cavernous fistula, arterial occlusion, arterial dissection (in potential association with brain ischemia), as well as arterial rupture/avulsion and post-traumatic venous thrombosis. Neurovascular complications of head trauma vary depending on the traumatic mechanism, on the site of impact and on the osseous structures involved. Early diagnosis is mostly based on Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography Angiography (CT/CTA) whose findings help guide patient management by detecting vascular lesions potentially leading to neurological deterioration. Magnetic resonance imaging may be useful in selected cases. Today Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) is mostly a diagnostic problem-solving tool when CTA findings are equivocal but advanced endovascular interventional techniques have improved the therapeutic possibilities in post-traumatic vascular complications.
conclusionsNeurovascular complications are not common after head trauma but should not be overlooked because they might lead to severe and life-threatening consequences. Early diagnosis, and a multidisciplinary collaboration including neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons and neurointensivists is fundamental in order to prevent and minimize secondary brain damage in this population.
