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

objectivePrimary intraventricular hemorrhage (PIVH) is a rare type of neurologic disorder and remains a challenge for cerebrovascular surgeons. This study intended to investigate the factors associated with neurosurgical intervention and its impact on outcome after PIVH.

methodsWe retrospectively included consecutive patients with PIVH admitted to at a single tertiary academic medical center in China. Conservative treatment or neurosurgical intervention options (including endovascular therapy, craniotomy, stereotactic radiotherapy, endoscopic surgery or external ventricular drain) were assessed. Multivariable logistic regression was applied to determine associations.

resultsIn total, 174 patients with PIVH were included in our analysis. There were 79 patients (45.4%) underwent surgery, which was associated with younger age (p=0.004), higher baseline Graeb score (p=0.001), acute hydrocephalus (p=0.02) and underlying cerebrovascular diseases (p<0.001) in an adjusted model. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, significant predictors of external ventricular drain after PIVH were higher baseline Graeb score (p=0.04), and acute hydrocephalus (p<0.001). Furthermore, after adjustment for confounders, our analysis showed that neurosurgical intervention could decrease 90-day mortality after PIVH (p=0.04).

conclusionAfter PIVH, younger patients with higher baseline Graeb score, acute hydrocephalus and underlying cerebrovascular diseases were more likely to undergo neurosurgical intervention. Surgical treatment of PVIH patients should be optimized to decrease mortality. However, further clinical trials are still needed to determine which patients would benefit from neurosurgical intervention.
