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 study objective was to determine the incidence of complications from induced hypertension used to treat delayed cerebral ischaemia (DCI) complicating aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH). Induced hypertension (IH) was defined as the use of vasopressors to achieve a supraphysiological systolic blood pressure target. A single-centre retrospective, observational cohort study was undertaken at the Royal Adelaide Hospital intensive care unit. Data are presented as predominantly median (interquartile range (IQR)). All patients admitted with a diagnosis of aSAH between 1 April 2020 and 1 April 2022 were included and analysed according to whether they did or did not receive vasopressors for IH. A total of 109 patients were included, of which 29 (27%) received vasopressors for IH (median age 58 (IQR 52-65) years, 65% female) and 80 did not receive IH (median age 55 (IQR 49-71) years, 62% female). Clinical DCI or radiological evidence of vasospasm were present in all patients given IH and in 16% of non-IH patients. Patients in the IH group had more ischaemic electrocardiogram (ECG) changes (17.2%
