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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesAneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) is a life-threatening event with major complications. Delayed cerebral infarct (DCI) occurs most frequently 7 days after aSAH and can last for a prolonged period. To determine the most predictive radiological scales in grading subarachnoid or ventricular haemorrhage or both for functional outcome at 3 months in a large aSAH population, we conducted a single-centre retrospective study.

methodsA 3-year single-centre retrospective cohort study of 230 patients hospitalised for aSAH was analysed. Initial computed tomography (CT) scans in patients hospitalised for aSAH were blindly assessed using eight grading systems: the Fisher grade, modified Fisher grade, Barrow Neurological Institute scale, Hijdra scale, Intraventricular Haemorrhage (IVH) score, Graeb score and LeRoux score.

resultsOf 200 patients with aSAH who survived to day 7 and were included for DCI analysis, 39% of cases were complicated with DCI. The Hijdra scale was the best predictor for DCI, with a receiver operating characteristic area under the curve (ROC

conclusionsAlthough these results have yet to be prospectively confirmed, our findings suggest that the Hijdra scale may be a good predictor of DCI and could be useful in daily clinical practice. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: Better assessment of subarachnoid haemorrhage patients would allow for better prognostication and management of expectations, as well as referral for appropriate services and helping to appropriate use limited critical care resources. KEY POINTS: Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage is a life-threatening event that causes severe disability and leads to major complications such as delayed cerebral infarction. Accurate assessment of the amount of blood in the subarachnoid spaces on computed tomography with the Hijdra scale can better predict the risk of delayed cerebral infarct. The Hijdra scale could be a good triage tool for subarachnoid haemorrhage patients.
