Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity risk modeling based on transients in time series describing the autonomic nervous system and cerebral hemodynamics.

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
purposeOverstimulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in the acute phase after traumatic brain injury (TBI) may lead to paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) syndrome. This study aimed to investigate the impact of the relationship between ANS activity and cerebral hemodynamics on the development of PSH syndrome. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective study included 41 TBI patients admitted to Wroclaw University Hospital (Poland). Among them, 14 were classified as at risk for PSH based on the probabilistic Paroxysmal Sympathetic Hyperactivity Assessment Measure (PSH-AM), with 10 rated as 'possible' and 4 as 'probable'. High-resolution neuromonitoring data from the first 72 h post-injury included intracranial pressure (ICP), pressure reactivity index (PRx), baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), arterial blood pressure (ABP), and heart rate (HR). The correlation between ANS activity and cerebral hemodynamics was quantified using the mean, standard deviation, and zero-crossing rate (ZCR) across sliding windows of 3, 6, 12, and 24 h. Logistic regression was used to model PSH risk.
resultsThe PSH risk model, including ZCR-based variability of ANS-cerebral hemodynamic correlations within a 3-h sliding window and adjusted by clinical metadata, achieved the highest performance (AUC 0.72 ± 0.27), outperforming the clinical metadata-only model (AUC 0.64 ± 0.18). Aggregated feature importance values indicated that the most predictive relationships were observed between HR-ICP and HR-PRx.
conclusionsIncluding the early post-injury interactions between ANS and cerebral hemodynamics in the clinical characteristics-based PSH risk model may improve its performance. Further studies in larger cohorts are necessary to validate these findings.
