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

Most existing intracranial hematoma segmentation models target acute hemorrhages and may not generalize to the heterogeneous morphology of chronic subdural hematomas (CSDH). We compared a model trained on an open-access acute intracranial hemorrhage dataset with a model trained in combination with a CSDH dataset and further evaluated the performance of the combined dataset model across Nakaguchi subtypes of CSDH (homogeneous, laminar, separated, and trabecular) and between isodense and non-isodense hematomas. We analyzed 377 patients with 512 CSDHs. A 3D nnU-Net model was initialized with the open-access Brain Hemorrhage Segmentation Dataset (BHSD). In the second stage, the BHSD and institutional CSDH data (75% training, 25% testing) were combined for retraining. Finally, a model trained exclusively on the CSDH dataset was developed for comparison with the combined dataset model. Segmentation performance was evaluated using the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) stratified by subtype and volume. The combined dataset model outperformed the BHSD-only model (mean DSC 0.917 ± 0.099 vs. 0.425 ± 0.306; P < .001) with greatest improvements in homogeneous (0.902 ± 0.072 vs. 0.350 ± 0.325; P < .001) and trabecular (0.945 ± 0.028 vs. 0.408 ± 0.266; P < .001) hematomas. No significant difference in DSC was observed between the combined dataset and the CSDH-only dataset models. The combined dataset model showed no significant difference in performance between isodense and non-isodense hematomas (P = 0.13). Segmentation performance correlated modestly with hematoma volume (Pearson r = 0.297; P < .001), with lower DSCs in smaller volumes (< 25 cm
