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

objectivesTo investigate predictors and clinical impact of delayed cerebral infarction (CI) in a national multicentric poor grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) population.

methodsRetrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from the multi-centric POGASH (Poor Grade aSAH) registry of consecutive patients treated from January 1st, 2015, to June 30th, 2023. Poor grade was defined according to the worst-pretreatment WFNS scale. CI was defined as a new ischemic lesion/s within 6 weeks of aSAH onset, not present on CT acquired within 48hrs and not related to treatment or hematoma. Clinical outcome was assessed by the modified Rankin Scale.

resultsAmong 532 consecutive WFNS grades IV-V aSAH patients, CI occurred in 106 (19.9%). CI (adjusted OR 0.59 0.35-0.98; p 0.045) independently predicted increased disability. Volume of SAH (aOR 1.02, 95% C.I. 1.00-1.04; p 0.015), anterior communicating aneurysm, ACoA, (aOR 6.2, 95% C.I. 1.4-27.3; p 0.015) and need of angiographic treatment (aOR 2.2, 95% C.I. 1.3-3.8; p 0.002) resulted independently predictive of CI occurrence. CI volume emerged as the strongest predictor of increased disability (aOR 1.03 95% C.I. 1.01-1.05; p < .001) and mortality (aOR 1.009 95% CI 1.002-1.02; P 0.018) in the CI affected population.

conclusionsACoA, SAH volume and need for DSA treatment predicted CI, whose detrimental role on outcome is mainly driven by its volumetric extension. CI volume resulted independently predictive of mortality and increased disability in early brain injury survivors.
