Clusters Across Multiple Domains of Health-Related Quality of Life Reveal Complex Patient Outcomes After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage.
Article in Critical care explorations, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (ruptured brain aneurysm) often have reduced health-related quality of life at follow-up in multiple domains (e.g., cognitive function and social function). We tested the hypothesis that there are distinct patterns of patient outcomes across domains of health-related quality of life, "complex patient outcomes," in survivors of subarachnoid hemorrhage.
designPatients with subarachnoid hemorrhage were prospectively identified. Clinical data were prospectively recorded. Health-related quality of life was prospectively assessed at 3-month follow-up using the National Institutes of Health Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System and neuro-quality of life in the domains of mobility, cognitive function, satisfaction with social roles, and depression. We used k-means clustering to analyze prospectively recorded health-related quality of life data, identifying clusters of complex patient outcomes. Decision tree analysis identified index hospital stay factors predictive of a patient having a particular complex patient outcome at follow-up.
settingAcademic medical center. PATIENTS: One hundred three survivors of subarachnoid hemorrhage.
interventionsNone. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsWe analyzed 103 patients, of whom 75 (72.8%) were female, and mean age was 53.6 ± 13.4 years. There were three complex patient outcomes: health-related quality of life greater than 1 sd better than the U.S. mean across all domains (
conclusionsComplex patient outcomes across multiple domains of health-related quality of life at follow-up after subarachnoid hemorrhage are distinct and may be predictable.
