Diffuse sulcal hyperintensity on MRI as a radiological correlate of transient neurological deficits in chronic subdural hematoma.

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
backgroundTransient neurological deficits (TND) may present as the initial symptom of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). Although a relationship between sulcal hyperintensity (SHI) on FLAIR images and TND has been suggested, existing evidence is limited to case reports and small-scale cohort studies. This study aimed to investigate the association between diffuse SHI and TND in patients with CSDH.
methodsThis single-center retrospective study included 127 patients with CSDH who underwent perioperative CT and MRI including FLAIR sequences, between January 2017 and March 2025. To identify factors associated with TND, univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). SHI on FLAIR was defined as marked hyperintensity along cerebral sulci adjacent to the hematoma, categorized as diffuse or focal.
resultsAmong the 127 patients (median age, 82 [74–86] years, 86 male) with CSDH, 22 (median age, 81 [72–85] years, 17 male) presented with diffuse SHI. Of the 22 patients with diffuse SHI, nine (40.91%) underwent TND. The presence of diffuse SHI was independently associated with TND (adjusted OR; 17.07, 95% CI; 4.71–73.23, p < 0.01).
conclusionsThis study demonstrates a significant correlation between preoperative TND and diffuse SHI in patients with CSDH. These findings may serve as a potential biomarker for TND in patients with CSDH, providing useful information that can complement existing diagnostic methods.
