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.

Abstract

Background and Purpose- We evaluated the association between 2 types of predictors of delayed cerebral ischemia after nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, including biomarkers of the innate immune response and neurophysiologic changes on continuous electroencephalography. Methods- We studied subarachnoid hemorrhage patients that had at least 72 hours of continuous electroencephalography and blood samples collected within the first 5 days of symptom onset. We measured inflammatory biomarkers previously associated with delayed cerebral ischemia and functional outcome, including soluble ST2 (sST2), IL-6 (interleukin-6), and CRP (C-reactive protein). Serial plasma samples and cerebrospinal fluid sST2 levels were available in a subgroup of patients. Neurophysiologic changes were categorized into new or worsening epileptiform abnormalities (EAs) or new background deterioration. The association of biomarkers with neurophysiologic changes were evaluated using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Plasma and cerebrospinal fluid sST2 were further examined longitudinally using repeated measures mixed-effects models. Results- Forty-six patients met inclusion criteria. Seventeen (37%) patients developed new or worsening EAs, 21 (46%) developed new background deterioration, and 8 (17%) developed neither. Early (day, 0-5) plasma sST2 levels were higher among patients with new or worsening EAs (median 115 ng/mL [interquartile range, 73.8-197]) versus those without (74.7 ng/mL [interquartile range, 44.8-102];
