How Often Do Patients Need Retreatment After Surgery for Subdural Hematoma? A Nationwide Readmission Database Analysis.

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
Background: The incidence of subdural hematoma is increasing as the average age in the United States rises, with reported high recurrence and reoperation rates. We therefore aimed to have a better understanding of retreatment following surgical evacuation of subdural hematoma in real-world practice. Methods: Data were extracted from the latest available Nationwide Readmissions Database (2016-2019). Adult patients diagnosed with subdural hematoma who had burr-hole or craniotomy were included in the study. Results: Retreatment rates were relatively low in both cohorts, with patients in the burr-hole cohort having a slightly higher rate of retreatment compared with the craniotomy cohort (8.4% versus 6.6%, Conclusions: Analysis of a large national database of unselected patients shows retreatment rates after surgery for subdural hematoma are lower than suggested by prior studies. Almost all retreatments occur within 90 days after initial treatment, which may have implications for length of follow-up for such patients.
