Identifying the Specific Subtype of Intracerebral Hemorrhage that is Indicated for Minimally Invasive Craniopuncture.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSurgeries for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remain controversial. Our previous study found that postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) outflow was associated with high hematoma evacuation efficiency in ICH cases with intraventricular involvement (ICHV) treated with minimally invasive craniopuncture (MIC). This study was designed to identify factors that predict postoperative CSF outflow and the specific subtype of ICHV that may benefit from MIC.
methodsA total of 189 MIC needles applied to 125 ICHV patients were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify independent predictive factors of postoperative CSF outflow.
resultsA density of the whole hematoma of ≤ 59 HU [odds ratio (OR) = 8.572, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.235-22.714, P < 0.001, standardization regression coefficients B' = 0.576] and a distance between the needle tip and the ventricular tear (tip-tear distance) of 21.79-34.15 mm (OR = 25.566, 95% CI 8.707-75.074, P < 0.001, B' = 0.883) were identified as independent predictive factors of postoperative CSF outflow. The density of the hematoma within 34.15 mm of the tear (clot 3.4) showed no statistical difference from that of the whole hematoma (P = 0.571). A density of clot 3.4 ≤ 60 HU was also a predictive factor of postoperative CSF outflow (area under curve: 0.771).
conclusionsICHV patients who meet the following conditions may benefit from MIC: (1) The MIC needle tip can be placed in the hematoma 21.79-34.15 mm from the ventricular tear; (2) the density of the whole hematoma is low (≤ 59 HU); and (3) the density of clot 3.4 is also low (≤ 60 HU). Future perspective studies should be conducted on this specific patient subtype.
