Outcomes Following Minimally Invasive Surgery for Intracerebral Hemorrhage in the AHA Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Registry.
Article in Stroke, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe efficacy of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in improving outcomes after nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains uncertain, with inconsistent findings from randomized clinical trials. Our objective was to evaluate the real-world impact of MIS on ICH outcomes using a nationally representative cohort.
methodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study of patients with a nontraumatic ICH enrolled in the American Heart Association Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Registry between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2021. We excluded patients with a diagnosis of ischemic stroke or other intracranial hemorrhage subtypes, those who underwent open craniotomy or craniectomy, and patients transferred to another hospital. The exposure was MIS, defined as a composite of stereotactic surgical evacuation and endoscopic surgical evacuation. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, while secondary outcomes included functional outcomes at discharge (discharge disposition, ambulatory status, and modified Rankin Scale score). We matched patients who underwent MIS with nonsurgical patients using overlap propensity matching and used multiple logistic regression to study the association between MIS and outcomes.
resultsAmong 684 467 patients with ICH, 555 964 were included; the mean age was 68 (SD, 15.3) years, and 262 999 (47.3%) were female. MIS was performed in 703 patients of whom 312 had stereotactic surgery and 391 had endoscopic surgery. In the matched cohort, in-hospital deaths occurred in 60 of 446 (13.5%) with MIS and 8321 of 35 361 patients (23.5%) without surgery. In regression analyses, MIS was associated with lower in-hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 0.50 [95% CI, 0.39-0.65]) and favorable discharge disposition (adjusted odds ratio, 1.93 [95% CI, 1.61-2.32]) but not with ambulatory status or functional outcomes. In additional analyses, stereotactic surgery and endoscopic surgery were independently associated with lower mortality.
conclusionsIn a large diverse cohort of patients with ICH, MIS was associated with lower in-hospital mortality and favorable discharge disposition. These findings support efforts to understand the durable impact of MIS in patients with ICH.
