Extradural Hematoma Following Low-Order Domestic Blast Injury From a Pressure Cooker: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Low-order domestic blast injuries generally result in localized soft-tissue trauma, but intracranial hemorrhage is exceptional. Pressure cooker explosions can generate high-velocity secondary projectiles capable of causing significant blunt head injury. We report a rare case of a large occipitoparietal extradural hematoma (EDH) following a domestic pressure cooker explosion. A 56-year-old woman presented with persistent headache and vomiting after being struck by the cooker lid. Her primary survey was stable with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) of 14. Cranial computed tomography (CT) showed a minimally displaced left parietal fracture with a 6.5 × 2.7 cm occipitoparietal EDH, an associated midline shift of 5.8 mm, intralesional air foci, and adjacent contusions. The patient underwent emergency craniotomy with successful evacuation of the hematoma and made an uneventful recovery. This case illustrates that low-order domestic blast injuries can still produce life-threatening intracranial damage due to secondary projectiles, highlighting the critical role of early CT imaging and timely neurosurgical intervention.
