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

backgroundSubarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) represents a severe stroke subtype. Our study aims to develop gender-specific prognostic prediction models derived from distinct prognostic factors observed among different-gender patients.

methodsInclusion comprised SAH-diagnosed patients from January 2014 to March 2016 in our institution. Collected data encompassed patients' demographics, admission severity, treatments, imaging findings, and complications. Three-month post-discharge prognoses were obtained via follow-ups. Analyses assessed gender-based differences in patient information. Key factors underwent subgroup analysis, followed by univariate and multivariate analyses to identify gender-specific prognostic factors and establish/validate gender-specific prognostic models.

resultsA total of 929 patients, with a median age of 57 (16) years, were analyzed; 372 (40%) were male, and 557 (60%) were female. Differences in age, smoking history, hypertension, aneurysm presence, and treatment interventions existed between genders (p < 0.01), yet no disparity in prognosis was noted. Subgroup analysis explored hypertension history, aneurysm presence, and treatment impact, revealing gender-specific variations in these factors' influence on the disease. Screening identified independent prognostic factors: age, SEBES score, admission GCS score, and complications for males; and age, admission GCS score, intraventricular hemorrhage, treatment interventions, symptomatic vasospasm, hydrocephalus, delayed cerebral ischemia, and seizures for females. Evaluation and validation of gender-specific models yielded an AUC of 0.916 (95% CI: 0.878-0.954) for males and 0.914 (95% CI: 0.885-0.944) for females in the ROC curve. Gender-specific prognostic models didn't significantly differ from the overall population-based model (model 3) but exhibited robust discriminative ability and clinical utility.

conclusionVariations in baseline and treatment-related factors among genders contribute partly to gender-based prognosis differences. Independent prognostic factors vary by gender. Gender-specific prognostic models exhibit favorable prognostic performance.
