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

backgroundHematoma location may influence hematoma volume and risk of expansion, the strongest prognostic predictors in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study aims to determine differences in imaging and clinical factors affecting survival in patients with lobar vs. deep ICH.

methodPatients with spontaneous supratentorial ICH residing in Skåne county registered in the Swedish Stroke Register 2016-2020 were included. Baseline non-contrast CT scans were evaluated for hematoma location and volume, subarachnoid or intraventricular extension, hydrocephalus, and midline shift. Multivariable Cox- and logistic regression analyses were used to determine imaging and clinical factors associated with increased 90-day mortality rate and functional dependency (mRS 3-5).

resultsOf 1398 patients, 666 (48%) had lobar, and 732 (52%) had deep ICH. Lobar ICH volumes were larger (median 27 vs. 13 mL, p < 0.001) compared to deep ICH. At 90 days, the unadjusted mortality rate (34% vs. 32%; p = 0.33) and functional dependency (mRS 3-5: 60.4% vs. 62.4%; p = 0.52) were non-significant between deep and lobar ICH patients. In multivariable analysis adjusted for confounders, hematoma volume (≥ 80 mL (HR = 5.90; 95% CI: 3.40-10.23), 30-79 mL (HR = 4.24; 95% CI: 2.81-6.42), and 10-29 mL (HR = 2.21; 95% CI: 1.49-3.27)), deep ICH location (HR = 1.78, 95% CI: 1.39-2.29), hydrocephalus (HR = 1.69, 95% CI: 1.21-2.37), pre-stroke dependency (HR = 1.51, 95% CI: 1.18-1.94), antiplatelets at onset (HR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.14-1.90), and age (HR =1.03, 95% CI: 1.02-1.04) were significantly associated with an increased 90-day mortality rate.

conclusionDespite larger hematoma volumes and older age in lobar ICH patients, lobar hemorrhages were associated with a lower mortality rate compared to deep hemorrhages. Our findings highlight the need to consider lobar and deep ICH separately in therapeutic and prognostic studies.
