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

BackgroundRadiolucent head immobilization (RHI) devices have recently been introduced to the neurovascular space for the purpose of procedural efficiency and safety. However, limited data exists to support its efficacy. In this study, we assessed the potential benefits of RHI. We hypothesized that RHI use is associated with improved procedural efficiency without loss of angiographic image quality or increase in radiation exposure.MethodsA single-institution single-physician retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent cerebral digital subtraction angiography (DSA) or middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) under conscious sedation over a 1-year period was conducted. Comparative analyses of fluoroscopy time, image quality, and radiation dosage were performed.ResultsSignificantly shorter fluoroscopy times were observed for patients with RHI undergoing DSA (
