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

Background: Microvascular decompression (MVD) is the primary treatment for cranial neurovascular compression syndromes. The most critical complication is hemorrhage during or after surgery. Although intraoperative supratentorial subdural hematoma (SDH) is uncommon, its management remains complex and lacks standardization. Case presentation: We report a case of acute brain swelling caused by an intraoperative supratentorial subdural hematoma during microvascular decompression (MVD) for trigeminal neuralgia. By effectively managing intracranial pressure and preventing secondary brain injury, the operation was successfully completed, resulting in a favorable postoperative recovery for the patient. Conclusion: This study examines the presentation and management of acute brain swelling caused by intraoperative supratentorial subdural hematoma (SDH). We aim to highlight the importance of being vigilant for this rare complication during microvascular decompression (MVD), as it can result in fatal brain swelling and encephalocele. Preventing and managing this severe complication remains challenging.
