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

BackgroundThe effects of initiating angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) in patients with chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) treated with middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) have not been well studied. There is conflicting evidence regarding ACEi use in patients with cSDH who undergo surgery alone, with some studies showing improved outcomes and others showing poorer outcomes. This study presents a real-world, multicenter analysis comparing the outcomes of ACEi reinitiation in this patient cohort.MethodsWe used TriNetX platform to compare outcomes of ACEi initiation in patients with cSDH treated with MMAE. Cohorts were defined using ICD-10 codes. The outcomes included inpatient readmission, need for surgery, and mortality within 6 months following treatment.ResultsA total of 2108 patients with cSDH who underwent MMAE were identified, of whom 251 initiated ACEi within 1 month of treatment. After propensity score matching, patients who received ACEi following MMAE had no significant differences in unplanned readmission (odds ratio (OR): 0.78, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.54-1.11,
