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

objectiveThe role of hemorrhage volume in risk of vasospasm, delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), and poor outcomes after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is well established. However, the relative contribution of blood within individual compartments is unclear. We present an automated technique for measuring not only total but also volumes of blood in each major compartment after SAH.

methodsWe trained convolutional neural networks to identify compartmental blood (cisterns, sulci, and ventricles) from baseline computed tomography scans of patients with SAH. We compared automated blood volumes against traditional markers of bleeding (modified Fisher score [mFS], Hijdra sum score [HSS]) in 190 SAH patients for prediction of vasospasm, DCI, and functional status (modified Rankin Scale) at hospital discharge.

resultsCombined cisternal and sulcal volume was better correlated with mFS and HSS than cisternal volume alone (ρ = 0.63 vs. 0.58 and 0.75 vs. 0.70, P < 0.001). Only blood volume in combined cisternal plus sulcal compartments was independently associated with DCI (OR 1.023 per mL, 95% CI 1.002-1.048), after adjusting for clinical factors while ventricular blood volume was not. Total and specifically sulcal blood volume was strongly associated with poor outcome (OR 1.03 per mL, 1.01-1.06, P = 0.006 and OR 1.04, 1.00-1.08 for sulcal) as was HSS (OR 1.06 per point, 1.00-1.12, P = 0.04), while mFS was not (P = 0.24).

conclusionsAn automated imaging algorithm can measure the volume of bleeding after SAH within individual compartments, demonstrating cisternal plus sulcal (and not ventricular) blood contributes to risk of DCI/vasospasm. Automated blood volume was independently associated with outcome, while qualitative grading was not.
