Intraarterial Nimodipine Versus Induced Hypertension for Delayed Cerebral Ischemia: A Modified Treatment Protocol.
Article in Stroke, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundRescue treatment for delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage can include induced hypertension (iHTN) and, in refractory cases, endovascular approaches, of which selective, continuous intraarterial nimodipine (IAN) is one variant. The combination of iHTN and IAN can dramatically increase vasopressor demand. In case of unsustainable doses, iHTN is often prioritized over IAN. However, evidence in this regard is largely lacking. We investigated the effects of a classical (iHTN+IAN) and modified (IAN
methodsRescue treatment for DCI was initiated with iHTN (target >180 mm Hg systolic) and escalated to IAN in refractory cases. Until July 2018, both iHTN and IAN were offered in cases refractory to iHTN alone. After protocol modification, iHTN target was preemptively lowered to >120 mm Hg when IAN was initiated (IAN
resultsN=29 and n=20 patients were treated according to the classical and modified protocol, respectively. Protocol modification resulted in a significant reduction of noradrenaline demand (iHTN+IAN 0.70±0.54 µg/kg per minute and IAN
conclusionsAssuming the potential of iHTN to be exhausted in case of refractory hypoperfusion, additional IAN may serve as a last-resort measure to bridge hypoperfusion in the DCI phase. With close monitoring, preemptive lowering of pressure target after induction of IAN may be a safe alternative to alleviate total noradrenaline load and potentially reduce complication rate.
