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

purposeEarly identification of the underlying cause of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is important for treatment and prognosis. This study aims to investigate the association of hematoma volume and other clinical parameters on the distribution of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) probability according to the simplified Edinburgh CT criteria in a large, unselected intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) population.

methodPatients with spontaneous ICH residing in Skane county registered with clinical data in the Swedish Stroke Register 2016-2020 were included. Radiological parameters were evaluated using baseline non-contrast CT (NCCT) for categorization according to the simplified Edinburgh CT criteria by the presence of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and fingerlike-projections (FLP). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to determine factors associated with an increased (intermediate/high) CAA probability.

resultsOf 666 patients with lobar ICH, 190 (29%) had high, 92 (14%) had intermediate, and 384 (58%) had low CAA probability. Patients with increased CAA probability presented more often with decreased level of consciousness, larger hematoma volumes, and higher 90-day mortality. Baseline hematoma volume [10-30 ml (OR = 4.03;95%CI: 2.26-7.19); 30-80 ml (OR = 12.00;95%CI:7.26-22.53); >80 ml (OR = 30.00;95%CI:15.94-59.09)], female sex (OR = 1.58;95%CI:1.08-2.32) and age (OR = 1.04;95%CI:1.02-1.06) were associated with an increased odds of having an increased CAA probability.

conclusionWe identified a strong association between baseline hematoma volume and an increased probability of CAA in lobar ICH patients on NCCT, indicating that large hematoma volumes alone may contribute to the occurrence of FLP and SAH, and act as a confounder for the simplified Edinburgh CT criteria. Validation against MRI is warranted.
