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

Aim: To study the relationship between elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, infection, and spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) outcomes. Methods: Patients were classified into four groups (Q1-Q4). Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between different CRP levels and functional disability (mRS score of 3-5) at discharge, intracerebral hematoma evacuation, and in-hospital mortality. Subgroup analysis was conducted on patients with or without infection during hospitalization. Results: A total of 14,529 patients with ICH were enrolled in this study. In the multivariate logistic regression model, compared with the reference CRP quartile group (Q1), the Q4 group had a higher proportion of functional disability (adjusted OR, 1.30, 95% CI 1.16-1.45) and hematoma evacuation (adjusted OR, 1.88, 95% CI 1.58-2.23). In patients without infection, compared with the Q1 group, the Q4 group had a higher risk of functional disability (adjusted OR, 2.16, 95% CI 1.71-2.73) and hematoma evacuation (adjusted OR, 1.15, 95% CI 1.00-1.31). Conclusion: A significantly increased CRP level was associated with a higher risk of early functional disability and hematoma evacuation in patients with ICH, regardless of the presence or absence of infectious complications. Infection may increase the risk of poor outcomes in patients with ICH, but caution is needed when facing abnormally high CRP levels in patients with ICH without infection.
