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

backgroundThe neuroglobin (Ngb) is well recognized as a potential biomarker for the hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. However, connection between Ngb and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is still unclear.

objectiveTo investigate the relationship between early stage Ngb level of aSAH patient and the occurrence of DCI.

methodsWe evaluated 126 aSAH patients who were enrolled into a prospective observational cohort study. Serum Ngb level on days 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 after aSAH were determined using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. The relationship between Ngb level and DCI was analyzed.

resultsForty-six (36.5%) aSAH patients experienced DCI. Patients with DCI had significantly higher Ngb levels than those without (p < .001). Multivariate model analysis revealed that day 3 Ngb level remained a significant factor after adjusting for World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade, modified Fisher grade, clipping and Ngb levels on days 1, 2, 5, and 7. Sensitivity, specificity, and Youden index of day 3 Ngb level for identifying DCI were derived as 73.9%, 72.5%, and 0.46, respectively, based on the best threshold of 8.4 ng/ml. Regardless in good-grade group or in poor-grade group, patients having day 3 Ngb level > 8.4 ng/ml has a significantly worse DCI survival rate than those having day 3 Ngb level <=8.4 ng/ml (p = .026 and .009, respectively).

conclusionsSerum Ngb level was significantly elevated in DCI patients. Early stage aSAH Ngb level has the potential of being used as a novel DCI occurrence predictor, especially when Ngb level was combined with WFNS grade.
