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

Intracranial hypertension is a common final pathway in many acute neurological conditions. However, the cerebral haemodynamic response to acute intracranial hypertension is poorly understood. We assessed cerebral haemodynamics (arterial blood pressure, intracranial pressure, laser Doppler flowmetry, basilar artery Doppler flow velocity, and vascular wall tension) in 27 basilar artery-dependent rabbits during experimental (artificial CSF infusion) intracranial hypertension. From baseline (∼9 mmHg; SE 1.5) to moderate intracranial pressure (∼41 mmHg; SE 2.2), mean flow velocity remained unchanged (47 to 45 cm/s; p = 0.38), arterial blood pressure increased (88.8 to 94.2 mmHg; p < 0.01), whereas laser Doppler flowmetry and wall tension decreased (laser Doppler flowmetry 100 to 39.1% p < 0.001; wall tension 19.3 to 9.8 mmHg, p < 0.001). From moderate to high intracranial pressure (∼75 mmHg; SE 3.7), both mean flow velocity and laser Doppler flowmetry decreased (45 to 31.3 cm/s p < 0.001, laser Doppler flowmetry 39.1 to 13.3%, p < 0.001), arterial blood pressure increased still further (94.2 to 114.5 mmHg; p < 0.001), while wall tension was unchanged (9.7 to 9.6 mmHg; p = 0.35).This animal model of acute intracranial hypertension demonstrated two intracranial pressure-dependent cerebroprotective mechanisms: with moderate increases in intracranial pressure, wall tension decreased, and arterial blood pressure increased, while with severe increases in intracranial pressure, an arterial blood pressure increase predominated. Clinical monitoring of such phenomena could help individualise the management of neurocritical patients.
