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
introductionComprehensive care bundles including rapid blood pressure management, anticoagulation reversal, neurosurgical consultation, control of blood glucose and body temperature, can improve short- and medium-term outcomes in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study assessed how the acute management of ICH practices evolved in a real-world setting over five years characterized by global changes in ICH care.
methodsThis study analysed ICH cases from a population-based stroke registry between 2018 and 2022. We collected demographic and clinical data, focusing on key parameters of ICH management, such as systolic blood pressure, anticoagulation reversal, neurosurgical referrals, blood glucose, and body temperature. We also examined yearly trends in control of parameters over time.
resultsWe included 460 patients with ICH (55.4% male, median age 79 years, interquartile range 69-85). At onset, 266 patients (57.8%) had high SBP (SBP ≥ 140 mmHg), 286 (70.3%) hyperglycemia (blood glucose ≥ 108 mg/dL), and 63 (17.3%) hyperpyrexia (body temperature ≥ 37.0*C). Anticoagulation was reversed in 21.4% of anticoagulated patients within 24 h. Neurosurgical referrals were made for 84.6% of patients while only 12.4% underwent surgery. From 2018 to 2022, anticoagulation reversal rates increased from 0 to 88.9% (p < 0.001), while neurosurgical referrals not followed by surgery decreased from 79.5 to 55.7% (p < 0.001).
conclusionsThis real-world study demonstrates suboptimal management of key factors associated with ICH prognosis; nevertheless, it highlights improvement over time. There is a need for structured interventions to improve the timely and consistent application of simple yet effective measures yielding the potential to improve patients' outcomes.
