Incidence and Management of Pneumocephalus, an Uncommon Complication of Spinal Anesthesia: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 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
The presence of air in the epidural, subdural, or subcranial space within the brain parenchyma or ventricular cavities is a relatively uncommon side effect of spinal anesthesia. In this report, we aimed to describe a 37-year-old male patient who presented with continuous headaches, nausea, and vomiting during spinal anesthesia for joint replacement. A 37-year-old male patient was admitted for elective total hip arthroplasty. The surgery was performed under spinal anesthesia. Within 24 h after surgery, the patient presented with a history of continuous headaches, nausea, and vomiting. A CT scan of the brain was performed, and the findings revealed pneumocephalus, as the necessary measures were taken to control pneumocephalus. Finally, the patient was discharged from the hospital in good general condition. Pneumocephalus must be considered one of the possible causes of spinal anesthesia, which requires careful evaluation.
