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

BackgroundSymptomatic cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a significant cause of delayed cerebral ischemia that leads to poor outcomes. Selective intra-arterial administration of fasudil hydrochloride (IAF) has been adopted for its vasodilatory effect on spasm arteries to prevent delayed cerebral ischemia. However, its effect on clinical outcomes and predictive factors for good recovery are not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the outcomes of selective IAF and identify predictive factors for good outcomes in patients with cerebral vasospasm after SAH.MethodsA retrospective study of 36 patients with cerebral vasospasm following SAH who underwent selective IAF at our institution between January 2014 and May 2022 was conducted. We evaluated the improvements in neurological findings before and after selective IAF. Statistical analyses were performed to determine factors associated with good outcomes.ResultsSelective IAF improved the neurological findings in 26 patients (72.2%). Pre-therapeutic absence of cerebral infarction in more than 1/3 of the spasm artery perfusion area was significantly associated with an improvement in neurological findings (
