Cranioplasty for Sinking Flap Syndrome in Chronic Subdural Hematoma: A Case Report.
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
Sinking flap syndrome (SFS), a rare complication of decompressive craniectomy, can lead to significant neurological deterioration due to atmospheric pressure changes. Here, we present the case of an 81-year-old male with chronic subdural hematoma who developed SFS post-craniectomy. Initial surgeries involved mini-craniectomy and hemicraniectomy due to acute hematoma complications. The patient experienced progressive neurological deficits, prompting cranioplasty. Following cranioplasty, the patient showed rapid neurological improvement, with resolution of hemiparesis and improved consciousness. Postoperative imaging confirmed stabilization of intracranial dynamics and no new bleeding.
