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

The mechanisms underlying post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) development following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) are not fully understood, which complicates informed clinical decisions regarding the duration of external ventricular drain (EVD) treatment and prevents the prediction of shunt-dependency in the individual patient. The aim of this study was to identify potential inflammatory cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of PHH and, thus, shunt-dependency and functional outcome in patients with SAH. This study was a prospective observational study designed to evaluate inflammatory markers in ventricular CSF. In total, 31 Patients with SAH who required an EVD between June 2019 and September 2021 at the Department of Neurosurgery, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark, were included. CSF samples were collected twice from each patient and analyzed for 92 inflammatory markers via proximity extension assay (PEA), and the prognostic ability of the markers was investigated. In total, 12 patients developed PHH, while 19 were weaned from their EVD. Their 6-month functional outcome was determined with the modified Rankin Scale. Of the 92 analyzed inflammatory biomarkers, 79 were identified in the samples. Seven markers (SCF, OPG, LAP TGFβ1, Flt3L, FGF19, CST5, and CSF1) were found to be predictors of shunt dependency, and four markers (TNFα, CXCL5, CCL20, and IL8) were found to be predictors of functional outcome. In this study, we identified promising inflammatory biomarkers that are able to predict (i) the functional outcome in patients with SAH and (ii) the development of PHH and, thus, the shunt dependency of the individual patients. These inflammatory markers may have the potential to be employed as predictive biomarkers of shunt dependency and functional outcome following SAH and could, as such, be applied in the clinic.
