A curious case of unsuspected intracranial metallic splinter with complications.
Article in Bioinformation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Penetrating injuries to the brain, due to low-velocity, non-missile objects are rare in civilian lament, but can carry significant morbidity. We describe a 20-year-old male with altered sensorium, headache and imbalance, months following what was deemed a trivial head injury from cricket. After imaging, a 2.5 cm metallic splinter lodged in the left cerebellum, which was subsequently surgically removed. The patient developed meningitis and hydrocephalus, required a shunt thereafter, but was complicated by the development of a pseudocyst, cherry-picking a CSF leak, malfunction of the original shunt and he ultimately had to be managed with a ventriculoarterial shunt. Thus, the need for routine imaging, expedited clinical recognition and individual management of delayed complications for penetrating injuries with the brain.
