Incidence, surgical eligibility and outcome of spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage in Southwest Finland - A retrospective study.

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
Introduction: Spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (sICH) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Large-scale trials have shown neutral outcomes for surgical interventions. The recent trial suggested functional benefits from surgical intervention. Surgical treatment for sICH is likely increasing. Research question: To determine the incidence of sICH in Southwest Finland, standardized to the European population, and to identify the proportion of large sICH patients eligible for surgery based on previously published trial criteria. We also examined factors associated with outcomes, including the effects of anticoagulant and antithrombotic medications. Material and methods: A retrospective clinical study identified 596 ICH cases treated at Turku University Hospital (2018-2019), of which 286 were supratentorial sICHs. Variables were analysed using a Results: The sICH incidence was 29.9/100,000 persons per year, with the highest European population age and sex standardized rates in individuals over 80 years old (110/100,000 males, 142/100,000 females). The incidence of sICH patients meeting surgical criteria was 2.7/100,000 persons per year. Out of 286 patients, 26 were eligible for surgery and had unfavourable outcomes (p = 0.0049). Multivariate analysis indicated a significant decrease in favourable outcomes with warfarin (p = 0.016, OR 0.42) and direct-acting anticoagulants (DOACs) (p = 0.034, OR 0.38), while antithrombotic medications showed no significant effect. Discussion and conclusion: We identified comparable incidence of sICH as European average. A small proportion of sICH cases were identified to be candidates for surgical intervention. Anticoagulants were associated with increased risk of unfavourable outcomes.
