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

Background and Purpose- Prior studies have shown a linear relationship between computed tomography (CT)-derived radiodensity and water uptake, or brain edema, within stroke lesions. To test the hypothesis that intravenous glibenclamide (glyburide; BIIB093) reduces ischemic brain water uptake, we quantified the lesional net water uptake (NWU) on serial CT scans from patients enrolled in the phase 2 GAMES-RP Trial (Glyburide Advantage in Malignant Edema and Stroke). Methods- This was a post hoc exploratory analysis of the GAMES-RP study. Noncontrast CT scans performed between admission and day 7 (n=264) were analyzed in the GAMES-RP modified intention-to-treat sample. Quantitative change in CT radiodensity (ie, NWU) and midline shift (MLS) was measured. The gray and white matter NWU were also examined separately. Repeated-measures mixed-effects models were used to assess the effect of intravenous glibenclamide on MLS or NWU. Results- A median of 3 CT scans (interquartile range, 2-4) were performed per patient during the first 7 days after stroke. In a repeated-measures regression model, greater NWU was associated with increased MLS (β=0.23; 95% CI, 0.20-0.26;
