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

Background: Improving the outcomes of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) associated with factor Xa inhibitors remains a clinical challenge. Andexanet alfa, a specific reversal agent for factor Xa inhibitors, has the potential to mitigate hematoma expansion (HE). The aim of this study is to identify predictors of HE in ICH associated with factor Xa inhibitor use and to propose appropriate indications for reversal therapy. Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective observational study that included 68 consecutive patients who developed ICH within 24 h of factor Xa inhibitor intake and were not receiving concomitant antiplatelet therapy. The study period spanned from April 2012 to June 2022. The relationships between HE and patient-related, clinical, hematoma-related, and pharmacological factors were examined. Results: Hematoma expansion was observed in 18 cases (26.5%) and significantly worsened outcomes ( Conclusion: The predictors of HE were an irregular margin or heterogeneous hematoma, and an initial CT performed within 4 h after drug intake. Reversal decisions based on hematoma volume, or interval from onset to initial CT may be inappropriate.
