Time trends in subarachnoid haemorrhage mortality across the BRICS (Brazil, Russian Federation, India, China and South Africa): an age-period-cohort analysis for the GBD 2021.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
objectivesSubarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is the third most prevalent subtype of stroke, representing a critical and potentially life-threatening cerebrovascular emergency. Given their large populations and diverse healthcare infrastructures, the BRICS (Brazil, Russian Federation, India, China and South Africa) nations play a pivotal role in the global SAH landscape. This investigation assesses the mortality trends of SAH in BRICS countries from 1982 to 2021. DESIGN AND
participantsThis study uses data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 public dataset to investigate the temporal trends in SAH mortality over four decades globally and within BRICS countries. The age-period-cohort (APC) model was employed to estimate net drift, local drift, age-specific curves and period (cohort) relative risks. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES: Mortality.
resultsFrom 1982 to 2021, there was a 3.85% increase in global SAH deaths and a 59.46% decrease in age-standardised mortality rates. SAH mortality rates are increasing across various age groups in BRICS countries, except in China and the Russian Federation, where most age groups show increasing trends. The annual net drift in SAH mortality varied from a decrease of 5.62% in China to an increase of 0.31% in the Russian Federation. Countries demonstrated similar age-effect patterns, with risk decreasing as age increased. However, period and cohort effects varied, suggesting different control measures and temporal mortality trends.
conclusionsChanging patterns of mortality from SAH in the BRICS countries over the last four decades vary. We suggest using local resources to step up SAH prevention. Healthcare for all ages, especially the vulnerable, should improve to prevent and treat SAH better.
