The incidence of cerebral arterial vasospasm following aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Neuroradiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo describe a pooled estimated incidence of cerebral arterial vasospasm (aVSP) following aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) and to describe sources of variation in the reported incidence.
methodsWe performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised clinical trials (RCTs) and cohort studies. The primary outcome was the proportion of study participants diagnosed with aVSP. We assessed for heterogeneity based on mode of imaging, indication for imaging, study design and clinical characteristics at a study level.
resultsWe identified 120 studies, including 19,171 participants. More than 40 different criteria were used to diagnose aVSP. The pooled estimate of the proportion of patients diagnosed with aVSP was 0.42 (95% CI 0.39 to 0.46, I
conclusionThe incidence of cerebral arterial vasospasm following aSAH varies widely from 9 to 93% of study participants. Heterogeneity in the reported incidence may be due to variation in the criteria used to diagnose aVSP. A standard set of diagnostic criteria is necessary to resolve the role that aVSP plays in delayed neurological deterioration following aSAH. PROSPERO REGISTRATION: CRD42020191895.
