In one paragraph

Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07695220 (Efficacy and Safety of an Early Intensive Blood Pressure-Lowering Strategy Using Remifentanil and Dexmedetomidine in Patients With Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

purpose of reviewWhen compared to ischaemic stroke, there have been limited advances in acute management of intracerebral haemorrhage. Blood pressure control in the acute period is an intervention commonly implemented and recommended in guidelines, as elevated systolic blood pressure is common and associated with haematoma expansion, poor functional outcomes, and mortality. This review addresses the uncertainty around the optimal blood pressure intervention, specifically timing and length of intervention, intensity of blood pressure reduction and agent used. RECENT

findingsRecent pivotal trials have shown that acute blood pressure intervention, to a systolic target of 140mmHg, does appear to be beneficial in ICH, particularly when bundled with other therapies such as neurosurgery in selected cases, access to critical care units, blood glucose control, temperature management and reversal of coagulopathy. Systolic blood pressure should be lowered acutely in intracerebral haemorrhage to a target of approximately 140mmHg, and that this intervention is generally safe in the ICH population.
