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

purposeIn subarachnoid hemorrhage, noncontrast CT features are used to guide the localization of ruptured aneurysms on CT angiography and DSA. Multiplanar CT may improve the localization of aneurysm rupture sites over axial plane CT alone.

methodsMultiplanar CT in three orthogonal planes was used to evaluate 94 cases of SAH. Two investigators independently evaluated each imaging plane for focal thick SAH with mass effect, intracerebral hemorrhage, focal edema, filling defect, subdural hemorrhage, and dominant intraventricular hemorrhage. Also, rupture site was qualitatively identified by combining these variables in each plane and combination of three planes. DSA served as the gold standard to locate the rupture sites.

resultsInterobserver agreement was k 0.60 to 0.79 for axial, k 0.43 to 0.86 for coronal and k 0.43 to 0.74 for sagittal planes. Good to substantial agreement was observed for the localization of rupture site in three planes (focal SAH with mass effect - k 0.78 to 0.85; filling defect - k 0.95 to 1.0; intracerebral hemorrhage - k 1.0; focal edema k 1.0; subdural hemorrhage - k 0.61 to 0.83). Dominant intraventricular hemorrhage revealed significant association with DSA to locate ruptured aneurysms (Fisher's exact test - Pr <  = P (< 0.001)). With non-missing data, frequency of correct ratings to locate rupture site was 66/67 (99%) in axial plane, 59/66 (89%) in coronal plane, 64/67 (96%) in sagittal plane and 77/77 (100%) in combined 3 planes.

conclusionsMultiplanar CT head is more successful than axial plane CT alone for the localization of aneurysm rupture sites in SAH.
