Intracranial hemorrhage following spinal interventions: A comparison between major surgical procedures versus minimally invasive procedures.
Review in Journal of craniovertebral junction & spine. 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
This study systematically reviews the incidence, types, and management of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) following major and minor spinal procedures, highlighting demographic trends, risk factors, and treatment outcomes to standardize clinical practices and improve patient safety. ICH following spine procedures, both major and minimally invasive, remains a rare but severe complication. The exact etiological factors are yet to be fully identified, though cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage and decreased intracranial pressure are significant contributors. A comprehensive literature search identified 114 studies reporting ICH cases from minor post-spinal procedures. A total of 138 patients were included. Data were extracted on demographics, types of spinal procedures, ICH, and management strategies. A database from a previously published paper, which included 109 patients postmajor spinal procedures, was incorporated for comparative analysis to identify patterns and differences. Our study analyzed 138 cases of ICH following minimally invasive spinal procedures, compared to 109 postmajor cases. Females predominated in the minimally invasive group (88.7%). Subdural hematoma was significantly higher in minor procedures (90%), while cerebellar hemorrhage occurred only in major procedures (56.9%). Needle sizes varied, with 18 Gauge needles used in 17% of cases and 66.1% reported as "Others." Mortality rates were comparable between major (3.7%) and minor (5.7%) procedures, indicating similar risk levels. ICH following spinal procedures, particularly minor ones, presents a significant clinical challenge. The findings underscore the need for customized treatment strategies and vigilant monitoring, especially in younger, healthier populations. Study limitations include potential publication bias and heterogeneity, highlighting the need for further research with more extensive, diverse samples to validate these findings.
