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.

Abstract

backgroundAlthough prophylactic triple-H therapy has been used in a number of institutions globally to prevent delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), limited evidence is available for the effectiveness of triple-H therapy on hemodynamic variables. Recent studies have suggested an association between low global end-diastolic volume index (GEDI), measured using a transpulmonary thermodilution method, and DCI onset. The current study aimed at assessing the effects of prophylactic triple-H therapy on GEDI.

methodsThis prospective multicenter study included aneurysmal SAH patients admitted to 9 hospitals in Japan. The decision to administer prophylactic triple-H therapy and the management protocols were left to the physician in charge (physician-directed therapy) of each participating institution. The primary endpoints were the changes in the hemodynamic variables as analyzed using a generalized linear mixed model.

resultsOf 178 patients, 62 (34.8 %) received prophylactic triple-H therapy and 116 (65.2 %) did not. DCI was observed in 35 patients (19.7 %), with no significant difference between the two groups [15 (24.2 %) vs. 20 (17.2 %), p = 0.27]. Although a greater amount of fluid (p < 0.001) and a higher mean arterial pressure (p = 0.005) were observed in the triple-H group, no significant difference was observed between the groups in GEDI (p = 0.81) or cardiac output (p = 0.62).

conclusionsPhysician-directed prophylactic triple-H administration was not associated with improved clinical outcomes or quantitative hemodynamic indicators for intravascular volume. Further, GEDI-directed intervention studies are warranted to better define management algorithms for SAH patients with the aim of preventing DCI.
