Platelet-activating factor (PAF) and the formation of chronic subdural haematoma. Measurement of plasma PAF levels and anti-PAF immunoglobulin titers.
Article in Acta neurochirurgica, 1995. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
In order to estimate the contribution of platelet-activating factor (PAF) to the formation of chronic subdural haematomas (CSH), we measured plasma PAF and anti-PAF antibody levels in head-injured patients with and without CSH and normal volunteers. Plasma PAF and anti-PAF IgG levels were higher in patients with CSH than in patients without CSH or in normal volunteers. Furthermore, plasma PAF and anti-PAF IgG levels increased in a time-dependent manner over the first 35 days following head injury. These data suggest that PAF may be involved in the generation of CSH.
