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

backgroundVarious studies have attempted to link aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) with environmental factors, yielding inconsistent results.

methodsWe retrospectively collected clinical and demographic data from all patients who presented to our hospital with aSAH between January 1st, 2015, and December 31st, 2021.

resultsOur study found a significant variation in the occurrence of aneurysm ruptures based on the day of the week, with more ruptures occurring on Mondays compared to Fridays. Additionally, we discovered that the amount of dust in the air prior to the ictus influenced the severity of the aSAH. In contrast, other environmental parameters such as atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, rain, wind speed, and cloud cover did not significantly impact the prevalence or severity of aSAH.

conclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first study to associate the severity of aSAH with atmospheric dust levels. Another key finding is the increased incidence of aneurysm ruptures on Mondays compared to Fridays.
