Idiopathic spontaneous subacute subdural hematoma in a healthy young male: a case report.
Article in The Pan African medical journal, 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
Chronic and subacute subdural hematomas are a common pathology of the geriatric population. Idiopathic spontaneous chronic and subacute subdural hematoma are unusual, with only 22 reported cases in patients younger than 40 years old. We report in this article an unusual case of spontaneous subacute subdural hematoma in a 16-year-old healthy male presenting as a sudden onset of intracranial hypertension with an unremarkable physical and neurological examination. CT scan of the head confirmed the diagnosis, and the patient underwent surgical evacuation of the hematoma. Follow-up was unremarkable, and further blood tests were all within normal range. Sudden-onset intracranial hypertension in previously healthy patients should be further explored, and the possibility of a subdural hematoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
