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

backgroundMyocardial injury after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is associated with poor outcomes. Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is also a complication of aSAH. We sought to determine whether (1) DCI could be predicted by demographics, aSAH severity/aneurysm location, or aSAH-associated myocardial injury (SAHMI), and (2) DCI is associated with increased mortality after aSAH.

methodsProspective longitudinal study of 149 aSAH subjects with definitive DCI evaluation, age 18-75 years, Hunt and Hess (HH) ≥ 3, and/or Fisher ≥ 2, and admitted to the Neurovascular ICU. DCI was defined by the presence of neurological deterioration accompanied by evidence of abnormal cerebral blood flow.

resultsSubjects were 48% DCI(+) and 52% DCI(-). DCI(+) subjects had more severe aSAH [HH (P = 0.002), Fisher (P = 0.004), admission Glasgow Coma Scale (P = 0.018)]. More DCI(+) subjects had pulmonary congestion than DCI(-) subjects (63 vs. 39%, P = 0.003). On echocardiogram, cardiac output (CO, liters per minute [LPM]) was significantly higher in DCI(+) than in DCI(-) subjects (6 ± 2 vs. 5 ± 1 LPM; P = 0.015). Multivariate analysis identified CO and Fisher grade as independent predictors of DCI (P = 0.02, 0.019). For each 1 LPM increase in CO, the odds of DCI increased by 1.5 (95% CI: 1.1-2.1). Fisher grade 4 increased the odds of DCI by 6.5 compared to Fisher grade 2 (95% CI: 1.6-25.8). After controlling for Fisher grade, CO remained an independent predictor of DCI (P = 0.02). Three-month mortality rate was not significantly different between DCI groups, P = 0.786.

conclusionElevated CO and Fisher grade are predictors of DCI after aSAH. However, prevention of DCI may not decrease mortality.
