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

backgroundAneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) with World Federation of Neurological Societies (WFNS) grade V has a high mortality rate and poor prognosis. Some patients with WFNS grade V aSAH have had good outcomes after aggressive treatment; however, outcome predictions based on routine examinations and findings obtained at admission are yet to be reported. This study aimed to develop a decision tree model for predicting outcomes of patients with WFNS grade V aSAH to aid decision-making for treatment strategy.

methodA multicenter study with retrospective and prospective data collected from 201 (derivation cohort) and 26 (validation cohort) patients with WFNS grade V aSAH, respectively, was conducted. Clinical outcomes were divided into good (Modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score at the time of discharge: 0-2) and poor (mRS score: 3-6) outcomes. A decision tree model was developed for the derivation cohort using the classification and regression tree method with clinical data including laboratory findings; it was named OPAS-V (Outcome Prediction in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid hemorrhage with WFNS grade V). The performance of the model was evaluated by area under the curve (AUC) and overall accuracy in both cohorts.

resultsOPAS-V comprised 3 metrics; the percentage of lymphocytes (< 49.9% or not), age (> 50 yrs or not), and glucose to potassium ratio (≥ 3.2 or not). The model achieved an AUC of 0.828 (95% confidence interval: 0.712-0.944) and overall accuracy of 0.930. Moreover, the model performed well in the validation cohort with an AUC of 0.727 (95% confidence interval: 0.441-1) and overall accuracy of 0.885.

conclusionsThis study developed the first decision tree model for predicting outcomes of patients with WFNS grade V aSAH, based on simple findings obtained at admission. This may aid clinicians in determining treatment strategies for severe conditions such as WFNS grade V aSAH.
