Age inconsistent brain atrophy following post cardiac arrest brain injury (PCABI): case report and review of literature.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction and importance: Age-inconsistent brain atrophy refers to brain shrinkage that is not proportional to chronological age. This case report is first to report a young patient who developed age-inconsistent brain atrophy due to post cardiac arrest brain injury (PCABI). Due to limitations in the available data, we report our experience and novel magnetic resonance (MR) imaging changes in the brain over the course of 2 months. Case presentation: We report a case of a 28-year-old woman who developed sudden cardiac arrest during a routine cesarean section, with loss of consciousness for an unspecified period of time. She was resuscitated, intubated and later transferred to intensive care unit (ICU); where her Glasgow Coma Scale on arrival was 4/15. Detailed history, physical examination, and radiological investigations confirmed the diagnosis of PCABI. She was treated in ICU along with physiotherapy for speedy recovery. Clinical discussion: PCABI is the major cause of long-term disability and mortality following cardiac arrest. In this novel case report, we establish that it can lead to age-inconsistent brain atrophy. Conclusion: Serial MR imaging scans of the brain should be performed for suspected or confirmed PCABI to evaluate brain atrophy and other changes. This will not only aid in deciphering residual brain deficits but also help in guiding the correct management of the patients.
