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

objectiveTo test the hypothesis that in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), perihemorrhagic edema to hematoma ratio (rPHE) on admission CT scan (aCT) is unaffected by home statin use when time from symptom onset to aCT is controlled for.

methodsIn a single-center prospective cohort of 176 consecutive ICH patients, 2 investigators independently determined hematoma and perihemorrhagic edema (PHE) volumes by using semiautomated validated software. rPHE were dichotomized at the median ratio (>0.75 vs ≤0.75). We used binary logistic regression to test for associations with rPHE.

resultsIn patients using statins as home medication before hospital admission (n = 38) compared to patients without prior statin use (n = 138), median PHE volumes were 15.8 mL (interquartile range [IQR] 6.5-39.4) vs 10.8 mL (IQR 5.1-26.8),

conclusionUse of statins before hospital admission for ICH is not associated with reduced rPHE on admission CT. In future studies, imaging timing relative to ICH onset needs to be controlled for in order to avoid confounding.
