Frailty in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: the risk analysis index.
Article in Journal of neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundFew studies have evaluated frailty in the setting of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) using large-scale data. The risk analysis index (RAI) may be implemented at the bedside or assessed retrospectively, differentiating it from other indices used in administrative registry-based research.
methodsAdult aSAH hospitalizations were identified in the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2015 to 2019. Complex samples statistical methods were performed to evaluate the comparative effect size and discriminative ability of the RAI, the modified frailty index (mFI), and the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS). Poor functional outcome was determined by the NIS-SAH Outcome Measure (NIS-SOM), shown to have high concordance with modified Rankin Scale scores > 2.
results42,300 aSAH hospitalizations were identified in the NIS during the study period. By both ordinal [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 3.20, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.05, 3.36, p < 0.001] and categorical stratification [frail aOR 3.59, 95% CI 3.39, 3.80, p < 0.001; severely frail aOR 6.67, 95% CI 5.78, 7.69, p < 0.001], the RAI achieved the largest effect sizes for NIS-SOM in comparison with the mFI and HFRS. Discrimination of the RAI for NIS-SOM in high-grade aSAH was significantly greater than that of the HFRS (c-statistic 0.651 vs. 0.615). The mFI demonstrated the lowest discrimination in both high-grade and normal-grade patients. A combined Hunt and Hess-RAI model (c-statistic 0.837, 95% CI 0.828, 0.845) for NIS-SOM achieved significantly greater discrimination than both the combined models for mFI and HFRS (p < 0.001).
conclusionThe RAI was robustly associated with poor functional outcomes in aSAH independent of established risk factors.
