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

backgroundAneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage is associated with significant morbidity and mortality due to the myriad of complications contributing to early brain injury and delayed cerebral ischaemia. There is increasing interest in the exploration of the association between blood-brain barrier integrity and risks of delayed cerebral ischaemia and poor outcomes. Despite recent advances in cerebral imaging, radiographic imaging of blood-brain barrier disruption, as a biomarker for outcome prediction, has not been adopted in clinical practice.

methodsWe performed a narrative review by searching for articles describing molecular changes or radiological identification of changes in BBB permeability following subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) on MEDLINE. Preclinical studies were analysed if reported structural changes and clinical studies were included if they investigated for radiological markers of BBB disruption and its correlation with delayed cerebral ischaemia.

resultsThere is ample preclinical evidence to suggest that there are structural changes in BBB permeability following SAH. The available clinical literature has demonstrated correlations between permeability imaging and outcomes following aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH).

conclusionRadiological biomarkers offer a potential non-invasive prognostication tool and may also allow early identifications of patients who may be at risk of DCI.
