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

The incidence of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) associated with oral anticoagulants (OAC) is about one in five cases of ICH and associated with severe clinical presentation, frequently rapid clinical deterioration, and 30-days mortality of app 50%. This narrative review gives an overview of presentation and acute treatment of OAC-ICH. Oral anticoagulants do not cause ICH but lead to prolongation of bleeding and higher risk of hematoma expansion (HE). Clinicoradiological characteristics of oral anticoagulant associated ICH are not different from ICH in general. The therapeutic principle of reversal is to prevent or limit HE. The mode of action of the reversal agents for vitamin K antagonists, direct oral thrombin inhibitor and direct oral factor Xa inhibitors are described in the main text. We also discuss the principles of blood pressure lowering in the setting of acute OAC-ICH as it may be the second driving force of HE. Stroke unit care is needed to prevent further complications. Data from randomized controlled trials and observational data from unselected patients are needed to make stronger and more precise recommendations on acute therapy.
