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

backgroundHigh-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is a devastating disease with a low favorable outcome. Elevated intracranial pressure is a substantial feature of high-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage that can result to secondary brain injury. Early control of intracranial pressure including decompressive craniectomy and external ventricular drainage had been reported to be associated with improved outcomes. But in recent years, little is known whether external ventricular drainage and intracranial pressure monitoring after coiling could improve outcomes in high-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

aimTo investigate the outcomes of high-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients with coiling and ventricular intracranial pressure monitoring.

methodsA retrospective analysis of a consecutive series of high-grade patients treated between Jan 2016 and Jun 2017 was performed. In our center, followed by continuous intracranial pressure monitoring, the use of ventricular pressure probe for endovascular coiling and invasive intracranial pressure monitoring in the acute phase is considered to be the first choice for the treatment of high-grade patients. We retrospectively analyzed patient characteristics, radiological features, intracranial pressure monitoring parameters, complications, mortality and outcome.

resultsA total of 36 patients were included, and 32 (88.89%) survived. The overall mortality rate was 11.11%. No patient suffered from aneurysm re-rupture. The intracranial pressure in 33 patients (91.67%) was maintained within the normal range by ventricular drainage during the treatment. A favorable outcome was achieved in 18 patients (50%) with 6 mo follow-up. Delayed cerebral ischemia and Glasgow coma scale were considered as significant predictors of outcome (2.066 and -0.296, respectively,

conclusionVentricular intracranial pressure monitoring may effectively maintain the intracranial pressure within the normal range. Despite the small number of cases in the current work, high-grade patients may benefit from a combination therapy of early coiling and subsequent ventricular intracranial pressure monitoring.
