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 purposeHemorrhagic stroke, particularly nontraumatic spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH), is a cerebrovascular condition with unfavorable outcomes. The aims of the present study were to evaluate patients who suffered from SICH and investigate the early outcomes in a single-center study.

methodsDuring a study -period of 6 years (2008-2014), 613 consecutive patients (mean age, 72 ± 12.7 years; 51.1% female), who suffered from nontraumatic SICH and were treated at the Department of Neurology at the University Hospital of Schleswig-Holstein, Campus Lübeck, Germany, were included and prospectively analyzed.

resultsDuring a mean hospitalization time of 12 days, 148 patients (24.1%) died, 47% of those within the first 2 days and 79% within the first week. The patients who died stayed at the hospital for a shorter time (3) than those who survived (p < .001). In the multivariate logistic regression, following parameters were found to be associated with the in-hospital mortality: female sex (OR, 2.0; 95%-CI, 1.2-3.4; p = .009), a NIHSS score> 10 (OR, 10.5; 95%-CI, 5.6-19.5; p < .001), history of hypertension (OR, 0.35; 95%-CI, 0.19-0.64; p = .001), previous oral anticoagulation (OR, 2; 95%-CI, 1.0-3.8; p = .032), and intraventricular extension of hemorrhage (OR, 2.8; 95%-CI, 1.7-4.7; p = .001). At discharge, 192 patients (41.2%) showed favorable outcomes (mRS ≤ 2) whereas the median mRS of patients who survived was 3 (IQR 2-4). The good functional outcome at discharge from the acute hospital was decreased by an age> 70 years (OR, 0.56; 95%-CI, 0.35-0.9; p = .017), NIHSS score> 10 at admission (OR, 0.07; 95%-CI, 0.04-0.13; p < .001), and development of pneumonia during hospitalization (OR, 0.35; 95%-CI, 0.2-0.6; p < .001).

conclusionThe present study showed that SICH is a serious disease causing high mortality and disability, particularly in the early period after event.
