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

introductionSubarachnoidal hemorrhage (SAH) occurring after aneurysmal rupture produces an inflammatory response in the cerebral circulation. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha is a major cytokine in this process. Adhesion molecules provide information on inflammatory reactions taking place in the walls of blood vessels. Clinical evidence suggests a role of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule (sICAM)-1 in early hemorrhagic events. This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of early TNF-alpha and sICAM-1 serum measurement for the prognosis of patient outcome after intracranial aneurysmal rupture. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe study consisted of 27 patients with a diagnosis of intracranial aneurysm. SAH was evaluated on admission according to the Fisher scale, patients' consciousness with the Glasgow Coma Scale, clinical grading with the Hunt and Hess scale, and clinical outcome with the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS). Blood samples were drawn within 72 h after arrival at the emergency room. Serum concentrations of TNF-alpha and sICAM-1 were assayed with the ELISA method.

resultsThe initial serum TNF-alpha concentration in the aneurysmal patients was low and did not correlate with radiological and clinical scores. The serum sICAM-1 level positively correlated with the severity of bleeding assessed by the Fisher scale and negatively with the patient's scoring in the GOS.

conclusionsThis study demonstrated the absence of a systemic TNF-alpha-mediated inflammatory response at the onset of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Early measurement of serum sICAM-1 levels offers a potential prognostic value in the assessment of patients' outcome after brain aneurysmal rupture.
