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

Subdural hematomas (SDHs) in infants present diagnostic challenges due to their diverse aetiologies ranging from non-accidental injury to metabolic or coagulopathic disorders. Clinical presentation includes vomiting, irritability, and bulging fontanelles. There are multiple surgical and non-surgical options available for management aimed at relieving mass effect. We report the unusual development of acute ventriculomegaly and downward gaze palsy in a clinically well 9-week-old boy following evacuation of bilateral subacute subdural hematomas. Neuroimaging revealed ventricular enlargement without other overt clinical features of hydrocephalus, and the symptoms resolved without CSF diversion. We hypothesize that the ventriculomegaly and downward gaze deviation were caused by altered CSF pressure gradient due to communication between the subarachnoid, subdural, and subgaleal spaces.
