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

Objective: In this study, we enrolled patients with acute brain injury (ABI) to examine the relationship between paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) and volume status, right heart function, and pulmonary edema, and their impact on prognosis. Methods: Thirty patients with ABI were prospectively enrolled. A correlation analysis between Paroxysmal Sympathetic Hyperactivity Assessment Measure (PSH-AM) score and clinical indicators was performed using Pearson's or Spearman correlation coefficient. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the prediction of 6-month Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOSE) score. Inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter was evaluated as a marker of intravascular volume status, and its correlation with 6-month GOSE score in ABI patients was analyzed. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in PSH-AM over time in patients with ABI ( Conclusion: IVC diameter assessed on day 1 is a useful indicator of neurological prognosis in patients with ABI. There was no statistically significant difference in PSH over time in patients with ABI. Regarding the study's sample size and potential operator bias in IVC diameter measurement, the findings require validation in larger, multicenter studies with standardized measurement protocols.
