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

objectiveDespite celecoxib, a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor, promoting functional recovery from intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) by reducing inflammation-mediated perihematomal edema in rat models, the evidence of its effects on patient outcomes remains limited. As nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) alleviate inflammation by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-2, this study aimed to assess the impact of non-aspirin NSAIDs on ICH outcomes.

methodsPatients with acute ICH admitted to our hospital between January 2015 and December 2020 were prospectively enrolled and retrospectively categorized based on pre- or post-ICH use of non-aspirin NSAIDs. Outcomes were assessed using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 3 months, survival at 1 year, and mortality at long-term follow-up.

resultsAmong 976 patients with acute ICH, 2.0% and 15.0% were non-aspirin NSAID users before and after ICH, respectively. Post-ICH non-aspirin NSAID use was associated with a reduced 1-year mortality risk (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.30, p = 0.001) and long-term mortality risk (adjusted hazard ratio 0.56, p = 0.043), but not good functional outcomes (mRS 0-2) (aOR 0.98, p = 0.940). In the subgroup analyses, post-ICH use might be linked to good functional outcomes in patients with lobar hemorrhage or in those without surgical intervention. Pre-ICH non-aspirin NSAID use was not associated with these outcomes in the overall population, but it might be linked to increased mortality in subgroups with lobar hemorrhage, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, hyperlipidemia, or without intraventricular hemorrhage.

interpretationThe post-ICH use of non-aspirin NSAIDs reduced mortality. Future studies are warranted to identify specific non-aspirin NSAID regimens that can significantly improve the outcomes of patients with ICH.
