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

purposeHemorrhage volume is a major prognostic factor in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). This study investigates the association between semiautomatically measured hemorrhage volumes and functional outcomes at discharge.

methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted including patients with aSAH admitted to a tertiary hospital between 2016 and 2021. Hemorrhage volumes-including subarachnoid (SAH), intraventricular (IVH), intraparenchymal (IPH), and total hemorrhage (TH)-were quantified from admission CT scans using semiautomated segmentation software (AW Server). Functional outcome was assessed with the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) at discharge, dichotomized as favorable (GOS 4-5) or unfavorable (GOS ≤ 3). ROC curves were used to identify optimal volume thresholds, and multivariate logistic regression assessed independent associations.

resultsA total of 170 patients were included (65.3% women, mean age 58.5 years). Unfavorable outcomes were observed in 80 patients (47.1%). ROC analysis identified a TH volume > 29 cm

conclusionsSemiautomated volumetric analysis of hemorrhage in aSAH identifies TH volume as a key predictor of unfavorable outcomes. TH volume could serve as a useful metric for early risk stratification and support clinical decision-making. Further prospective studies are needed to validate these findings and assess their broader applicability.
