The relationship between the serum levels of ferritin and the radiological brain injury indices in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.

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.
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
objectivesPreclinical studies show that iron plays a key role in mediating neuronal injury. This study was performed in order to identify the relationship between the serum level of ferritin and severity of the brain injury which occur after an Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis was a cross sectional descriptive - analytic study, which was conducted on those patients who had suffered from an ICH and had attended Poursina Hospital. The Serum levels of ferritin were measured at admittance. A Cranial CT scan was performed at admission and also 72 hr afterward. Hematoma and edema surrounding the hematoma volumes were also measured at entrance and 72 hr afterward. Data analysis was carried out by a descriptive - analytic statistics approach and calculated later on by the Spss-20 software.
resultsIn this investigation, 63 patients were studied, from which 34 (54%) were male and 29 (46%) female. The average age of the patients was 69.7± 11.9 (Min 43 and Max 94 years old). A significant relationship was observed between the level of ferritin and the edema volume surrounding the hematoma at first and next 72 hr after the patients were admitted.
conclusionThese results delineated the effective role of iron on the edema volume elevation. More studies are essentially urged to ascertain the clinical evaluation of the curing effect of iron chelators in those patients who suffer from ICH.
