Conivaptan for the Reduction of Cerebral Edema in Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Safety and Tolerability Study.
Article in Clinical drug investigation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03000283 (Conivaptan for the Reduction of Cerebral Edema in Intracerebral Hemorrhage- A Safety and Tolerability Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundPerihematomal edema (PHE) growth in intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a biomarker for worse outcomes. Although the management of PHE is potentially beneficial for ICH patients, there is currently no proven clinical therapy that both reduces PHE and improves outcomes in this population.
objectiveTo examine the safety and tolerability of conivaptan, a non-peptide vasopressin (AVP) receptor antagonist, for the management of PHE in ICH patients.
methodsWe performed a single-center, open-label, phase I study in seven patients with ICH at risk for developing PHE. Conivaptan (20 mg) was administered every 12 h for 2 days, along with the standard ICH management. Electrolyte levels, renal and cardiac function, and vital signs were monitored throughout treatment. Neurological status, ICH, and PHE volumes were assessed at study baseline, 24 h, 72 h, and 7 days from the first conivaptan administration, as well as at the 3-month follow-up.
resultsConivaptan was well tolerated in our patients. We observed the expected increase in sodium levels following conivaptan administration (p = 0.01), with no change in cardiac or renal function. All patients survived to follow-up, and adverse event rates were comparable with those of the neurocritical care unit overall.
conclusionsThese data indicate that conivaptan can be safely administered to ICH patients and support further clinical investigation into the efficacy of this drug for ICH treatment. CLINICAL
