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
Background: Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a common condition affecting patients undergoing neurosurgical treatment for which burr-hole drainage remains the standard treatment. Postoperative fungal infections following this procedure are extremely rare, but can lead to severe consequences. Case Description: A 66-year-old male with a history of hypertension and schizophrenia underwent bilateral burr-hole drainage for bilateral frontotemporoparietal CSDH at another hospital 2 years prior to presentation. In the intervening years following this procedure, he experienced recurrent headaches, developed involuntary tongue protrusion and limb shaking, and suffered one episode of seizure 10 days before admission. Imaging suggested recurrence and possible organization of the bilateral CSDH. Bilateral craniotomy for hematoma evacuation was performed. Intraoperative examination revealed the organization and thickening of the subdural hematoma membrane, with a maximum thickness of approximately 1 cm. Postoperative pathological examination unexpectedly revealed structures suggestive of fungal hyphae. Subsequent cerebrospinal fluid culture confirmed the presence of Conclusion: This report describes a rare case of intracranial C. parapsilosis infection occurring 2 years after burr-hole drainage for the management of a CSDH. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with delayed postoperative fungal infections and emphasizes the importance of pathological examination when encountering atypical surgical findings. A multidisciplinary approach combining aggressive surgical debridement with targeted antifungal therapy is crucial for achieving a favorable outcome.
