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

Intracerebral hemorrhage is the most devastating complication in patients taking oral warfarin. Despite theoretic reversibility with fresh frozen plasma, vitamin K and prothrombin complex concentrate, it remains an entity with high mortality. Fluid-fluid level, also known as blood-fluid level, sedimentation level, or hematocrit effect, seen on noncontrast computed tomography (CT) scan is a characteristic finding associated with patients who have coagulopathy or who are receiving oral anticoagulation therapy. We present the case of an 80-year-old female patient requiring long-term anticoagulation due to atrial fibrillation, who presented acute neurological symptoms including thunderclap headache and hemiparesis. Urgent noncontrast CT scan showed classic signs of warfarin-induced intracranial hemorrhage with a fatal outcome a few hours after admission.
