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

backgroundWe developed a simplified ABC/2-derived method to estimate total subarachnoid hemorrhage volume (SAHV) on noncontrast computed tomography in patients with aneurysmal SAH and compared the clinical and radiographic outcomes. METHODS AND

resultsIn this retrospective observational cohort study, we analyzed 277 patients with SAH admitted to our Comprehensive Stroke Center between 2012 and 2022. We derived a mathematical model (model 1) by measuring SAH basal cisternal blood volume using an ABC/2-derived ellipsoid formula (A=width/thickness, B=length, C=vertical extension) on head noncontrast computed tomography in 5 major SAH cisternal compartments. We compared model 1 against a manual segmentation method (model 2) on noncontrast computed tomography. Data were analyzed using logistic regression analysis,

conclusionsOur simplified ABC/2-derived method to estimate SAHV is comparable to manual segmentation and can be performed in low-resource settings. Higher total SAHV was associated with worse outcomes and higher risk of delayed cerebral ischemia. A potential dose-response relationship was observed, with SAHV >10 mL predicting worse outcomes and higher risk of DCI.
