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

Postoperative cerebral vasospasm is usually triggered by vasoactive metabolic blood products in the subarachnoid space but is rarely reported following resection of intrinsic diffuse lobar neoplasms such as malignant gliomas. This 34-year-old right-handed Caucasian lady underwent an uneventful resection of a right mesial temporal lobe glioblastoma with no postoperative neurological deficits. Eight days after her index surgery, she presented with left-sided hemiparesis and dysarthria and was found to have right M1 narrowing, consistent with cerebral vasospasm. Intra-arterial calcium channel blocker (CCB) administration and induced hypertension were started to treat the cerebral vasospasm and resulted in resolution of most of her neurological deficits. At 2 months postresection, she was noted to be without neurological deficits and able to proceed with appropriate adjuvant therapies for the glioblastoma. Postoperative cerebral vasospasm following resection of a glioblastoma can occur and present in a similar manner and timeframe as post-subarachnoid hemorrhage vasospasm. Prompt recognition of this condition followed by endovascular intervention and systemic treatments to improve cerebral perfusion are essential at reducing the risk of permanent cerebral ischemia and deficits.
