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

Background: Post-traumatic hydrocephalus (PTH) impairs recovery after traumatic brain injury (TBI), yet reliable early risk stratification based solely on baseline assessment remains limited. We aimed to develop and temporally validate a preoperative CT-based radiomics model for early prediction of PTH and to assess the incremental value of clinical predictors. Methods: In this retrospective single-center cohort, 341 consecutive adults undergoing neurosurgical treatment for TBI were included. Patients treated in 2021-2023 ( Results: PTH occurred in 27.3% of the training cohort and 23.1% of the validation cohort. In temporal validation, the clinical, radiomics, and fusion models achieved AUCs of 0.769 (95% CI, 0.608-0.906), 0.783 (95% CI, 0.604-0.929), and 0.865 (95% CI, 0.735-0.958), respectively. The fusion model also demonstrated acceptable calibration and greater net benefit across clinically relevant thresholds. Conclusion: Baseline preoperative CT radiomics enables early risk stratification of PTH after TBI. Integration with clinical predictors provides incremental predictive value under temporal validation and may support individualized surveillance.
