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

Spontaneous epidural hematoma is a rare and dangerous complication of sickle cell anemia which typically requires surgical management. We present a rare case of a patient with sickle cell anemia and intracranial spontaneous epidural hematoma which resolved without any surgical intervention. We hypothesize the hemorrhage was due to skull bone infarction from sickle cell anemia. Clinicians and radiologists should be aware of rare non-surgical resolution of epidural hemorrhage in patients with sickle cell anemia.
