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

backgroundDelirium occurs frequently in patients with stroke, but the role of preexisting neural substrates in delirium pathogenesis remains unclear. We sought to explore associations between acute and chronic neural substrates of delirium in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

methodsUsing data from a single-center ICH registry, we identified consecutive patients with acute nontraumatic ICH and available magnetic resonance imaging scans. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition criteria were used to classify each patient as delirious or nondelirious during their hospitalization. Magnetic resonance imaging scans were processed and analyzed using semiautomated software, with volumetric measurement of acute ICH volume as well as white matter hyperintensity volume (WMHV) and gray and white matter volumes from the contralateral hemisphere. We tested associations between WMHV and incident delirium using multivariable regression models, and then determined the predictive accuracy of these neuroimaging models via area under the curve (AUC) analysis.

resultsOf 139 patients in our cohort (mean [standard deviation] age 67.3 [17.3] years, 53% male), 58 (42%) patients experienced delirium. In our primary analyses, WMHV was significantly associated with delirium after adjusting for ICH features (odds ratio 1.56 per 10 cm

conclusionsChronic white matter disease is independently associated with delirium in patients with acute ICH, and neuroimaging biomarkers may have utility in predicting delirium occurrence.
