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

Acute head injury requires rapid identification of clinically significant brain injury (CSBI), yet access to CT imaging is often limited, creating challenges in early triage. In this prospective study of 215 head trauma patients, optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) were evaluated as predictors of CSBI. Patients with CSBI had significantly higher ONSD and lower GCS and both variables independently predicted injury severity. The combined ONSD + GCS model demonstrated better diagnostic performance, clinical utility and calibration than either parameter alone, with ONSD showing a dose-response relationship with CT severity. Thus, data shows the validating a practical bedside risk stratification approach that integrates ultrasound-derived ONSD with GCS to improve CSBI prediction, particularly in resource-limited settings.
