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

background and purposeNeuronal damage in aSAH apart from perfusion deficits has been widely discussed. We aimed to test if cerebral injury occurs in aSAH independently from visible perfusion deficit by measuring cerebral metabolites in patients with aSAH without infarction or impaired perfusion. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe performed 3T MR imaging including (1)H-MR spectroscopy, DWI, and MR perfusion in 58 patients with aSAH and 11 age-matched and sex-matched control patients with incidental aneurysm. We compared changes of NAA, Cho, Glx, Lac, and Cr between all patients with aSAH and controls, between patients with and without visible perfusion deficit or infarction and controls, and between patients with and without visible perfusion deficit or infarction by using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

resultsWe found that NAA significantly (P < .005) decreased in all patients with aSAH. Cho was significantly increased in all patients compared with controls (P < .05). In patients without impaired perfusion or infarction, Glx was significantly decreased compared with both controls (P = .005) and patients with impaired perfusion or infarction (P = .006).

conclusionsThe significant decrease of NAA and Glx in patients with aSAH but without impaired perfusion or infarction strongly suggests global metabolic changes independent from visible perfusion deficits that might reflect neuronal mitochondrial injury. Further, impaired perfusion in aSAH seems to induce additional metabolic changes from increasing neuronal stress that might, to some extent, mask the global metabolic changes.
