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

Introduction: Nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (ntSAH) often results from a ruptured aneurysm and correlates with significant morbidity and mortality, particularly among the older population. Despite its impact, limited comprehensive studies evaluate the longitudinal trends in ntSAH-related mortality in older adults in the United States (US). Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective analysis using the CDC WONDER database from 1999 to 2020, analyzing Multiple Cause-of-Death Public Use death certificates to identify ntSAH as a contributing factor in the death of adults aged 65 years and older. We calculated age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMR) and annual percent change (APC) to examine trends across demographic variables such as sex, race/ethnicity, urbanization, and states/census region. Results: A total of 78,260 ntSAH-related deaths (AAMR 8.50 per 100,000 individuals) occurred among older adults in the US from 1999 to 2020. The overall AAMR for ntSAH decreased from 9.98 in 1999 to 8.67 in 2020 with an APC of -0.7% [95% CI (-1.0, -0.3)]. However, the authors observed a noticeable rise from 2013 to 2020 with an APC of 1.7% [95% CI (0.8, 2.6)]. Sex, racial, and regional disparities were evident with higher mortality rates for ages 85 or greater (crude mortality rate 16.6), women (AAMR 9.55), non-Hispanic Asian or Pacific Islander (AAMR 12.5), and micropolitan areas (AAMR 8.99), and Western US (AAMR 8.65). Conclusion: Mortality from ntSAH increases with age, affects women disproportionately, and occurs more often in an inpatient setting. These findings necessitate targeted, multi-dimensional health policies and clinical interventions. Specialties beyond neurosurgery can utilize this data for improved risk stratification and early treatment. Policymakers should focus on equitable resource allocation and community-level interventions to mitigate these trends effectively.
