Cerebral Vasospasm After Burr Hole Evacuation of Chronic Subdural Hematoma.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
Cerebral vasospasm is a frequent complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage. We report a case of chronic subdural hematoma complicated by cerebral vasospasm after burr hole evacuation. A 74-year-old woman underwent burr hole evacuation of a chronic subdural hematoma. She developed left hemiparesis and disturbance of consciousness on postoperative day 3. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a right parietal infarct and decreased cerebral blood flow signal in the right middle cerebral artery territory. Digital subtraction angiography showed multiple segmental narrowings of the right middle cerebral artery. Her neurological symptoms recovered with conservative treatment. Follow-up angiography showed improvement in the arterial narrowing, which finally led to a diagnosis of cerebral vasospasm. Cerebral vasospasm can occur after burr hole evacuation of chronic subdural hematoma. Magnetic resonance angiography is useful for determining the cause of postoperative neurological worsening in chronic subdural hematoma patients.
