Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03442608 (A Multi-center, Randomized, Controlled Trial to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Long-term Therapeutic Hypothermia in Adult Patients With Poor-grade Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

backgroundStudies on the use of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) to improve the outcome of high-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), show promising, though conflicting results because of the lack of high-quality trials. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TH (maintaining bladder temperature at 33 °C for ≥72 h) to treat patients with high-grade aSAH (Hunt-Hess grade IV-V).

methodsA multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial will be conducted for October 2020 to September 2024 involving 10 clinics. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomized 1:1 to a TH group and a normothermia group. The trial will enroll 96 participants in TH group and normothermia one, respectively. The trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03442608) on February 22, 2018. Following conventional treatment for aSAH, patients will undergo either TH for at least 72 h or normothermia. The primary endpoint is the Glasgow outcome scale at 6 months after bleeding. The secondary endpoints are: (I) mortality at 6 months after bleeding; (II) intracranial pressure; (III) intensive care unit stay; and (IV) hospital stay. The safety endpoints include neurological, infectious, intestinal, circulatory, coagulation, and bleeding complications, electrolyte disorders, and other complications. DISCUSSION: If the study hypothesis is confirmed, TH at 33 °C in patients with high-grade aSAH may become a promising treatment strategy for improving 6-month outcome.
