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

introductionCerebral vasospasm (CVS) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) often leads to poor outcomes in SAH patients. Overexpression of endothelin-1 (ET-1) could contribute to the development of CVS. The purpose of this study was to investigate cerebral microcirculation by whole-brain perfusion CT scan and ET-1 expression following SAH.

methodsSAH was induced in rabbits. Cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), time to peak (TTP), and mean transit time (MTT) were measured with CT perfusion techniques at days 1, 4, 7, and 14 following SAH. Expression of ET-1 was determined by ELISA accordingly. Histological sections of the brain tissue were also examined.

resultsWhole-brain perfusion showed that CBV and TTP increased at day 4 and maintained elevated rate until day 14. MTT increased at day 4, peaked at day 7, and then decreased at day 14. CBV of the occipital lobe was greater than that in the frontal and parietal lobes at day 4. CBF of the occipital lobe increased significantly compared to that of other lobes at day 7. ET-1 expression in the SAH group was significantly greater than that in the control at various time points. Moreover, ET-1 levels were positively correlated with MTT value.

conclusionCTP detects changes in cerebral microcirculation following SAH. Microcirculation of each lobe was different and could be quantified to identify high-risk areas of cerebral ischemia. ET-1 expression was significantly increased and was correlated with MTT as well, suggesting that ET-1 influences cerebral microcirculation following SAH.
