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

backgroundAneurysm treatment during cerebral vasospasm (CVS) phase is frequently considered as particularly dangerous, mainly because of the risk of cerebral infarct.

objectiveWe aimed to evaluate the risk of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH)-specific complications and functional outcome in patients treated during CVS phase.

methodsWe retrospectively analysed a large, retro- and prospectively collected database of aSAH patients admitted to our department between March 2006 and March 2020. We conducted a uni- and multivariable logistic regression analysis to evaluate influencing factors on rebleeding, cerebral infarct, Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS) at discharge and mortality and assessed the rate of angiographic vasospasm on admission.

resultsWe included 853 patients. The majority of patients were female (66.6%), mean age was 57.3 years. Out of 853 included patients, 92 (10.8%) were treated during CVS phase, 312 (36.6%) underwent clipping and 541 (63.4%) endovascular treatment. Treatment during CVS phase was significantly associated with cerebral infarct in the multivariable logistic regression analysis, unrelated to the nature of intervention (OR 2.42, 1.29-4.54 95% CI p-value = 0.006). However, patients treated during CVS phase did not have increased risk of unfavourable outcome by GOS on discharge. In addition, they did not have a higher rate of rebleeding or mortality.

conclusionsTreatment during CVS phase was significantly associated with a higher rate of cerebral infarct as confirmed by imaging. This did not reflect on GOS on discharge, rebleeding, or mortality. Aneurysm treatment during CVS phase is relatively safe and should not be postponed due to the risk of rebleeding and subsequent devastating deterioration.
