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

The endovascular perforation (EP) model is a common technique for experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in rats, simulating the pathophysiological features observed in the acute phase of SAH. Due to the drawbacks of large variations in the amount of bleeding, the results obtained from this model require severity evaluation. However, no less-invasive procedure could confirm the precise intracranial conditions immediately after establishing the rat EP model. We created a novel method for evaluating SAH immediately after establishing the rat EP model using intra-arterial contrast-enhanced micro-computed tomography (CT). We administered contrast agents continuously via the carotid artery during surgery and performed CT examination immediately after SAH induction. First, bleeding severity was classified by establishing a scoring system based on the CT findings (cSAH scoring system). Subsequently, we determined the actual SAH distribution macroscopically and histologically and compared it with the cSAH scores. Second, we investigated the contrast agent's neurotoxicity in rats. Finally, we confirmed the correlation between cSAH scores and SAH severity, including neurological status, cerebral vasospasm, and hematoma volume 24 hr after SAH. Intra-arterial contrast-enhanced micro-CT could visualize the distribution of SAH proportionally to the bleeding severity immediately after establishing the EP model. Moreover, the contrast agent administration was determined not to be neurotoxic to rats. The cSAH scoring revealed a significant correlation with the SAH severity in the rat EP model (P <0.01). Thus, our minimally invasive method provided precise information on intracranial status in the ultra-early phase of SAH in rats EP model.
