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

purposePerimesencephalic hemorrhage (PMH) is a benign subtype of nonaneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We aimed to investigate if cerebral perfusion in PMH is less affected than in aneurysmal SAH (aSAH).

methodsFrom a prospective cohort of 80 patients with spontaneous SAH, we included PMH patients (n = 15) and selected aSAH patients (n = 39) with similar clinical grade at admission (World Federation of Neurosurgeons Scale-WFNS I/II). Computed tomography (CT) perfusion was performed at < 72 h and/or at 8-10 days. Cerebral perfusion parameter values were compared between groups with nonparametric tests. Subgroup analyses compared PMH and aSAH patients stratified according to aneurysmal location (anterior or posterior circulation) and blood burden (Fisher grade).

resultsAt < 72 h, no significant differences in perfusion parameters were found between PMH and aSAH patients. At 8-10 days, PMH patients had lower MTT than aSAH patients, and a trend for higher CBF. PMH patients had higher CBF and CBV at < 72 h when compared to posterior circulation aSAH patients. When compared to aSAH patients with similar blood burden, PMH patients had higher CBF and lower MTT at < 72 h, and lower MTT at 8-10 days.

conclusionPMH patients had better cerebral perfusion compared to patients with aSAH, particularly during the vasospasm time window. After stratifying for the amount of blood, PMH patients also had better cerebral perfusion in the first 72 h after SAH. These results are in line with the better clinical presentation and prognosis of PMH, and possibly with a different etiology.
