Cisterns and Cortical Sulci Effacement Score Predicts Early Postoperative Cerebral Infarction in Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage.
Article in Neurocritical care, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundEarly postoperative cerebral infarction (ePCI) following spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe complication. This study aimed to develop and validate a cisterns and cortical sulci effacement (CCSE) score for predicting ePCI and to compare its predictive performance with that of established clinical scoring systems.
methodsData on spontaneous ICH from two centers were retrospectively analyzed. The visibility of 10 cisterns and the left/right cortical sulci was assessed on preoperative computed tomography scans (scored as 0 = visible, 1 = not visible), and the total sum constituted the CCSE score. Interrater and intrarater reliability were assessed using Cohen's κ coefficient. Logistic regression and subgroup analyses were conducted to explore the association between CCSE and ePCI. Predictive performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves, and restricted cubic splines were used to assess potential nonlinearity.
resultsFrom a cohort of 3,968 consecutive patients with spontaneous ICH from May 2015 to September 2022, 637 individuals (mean age 57.3 years [SD 12.5]; 71.3% male) were included in the final analysis, with 71 (11.1%) developing ePCI. The CCSE score showed excellent intrarater (κ = 0.93) and interrater (κ = 0.86) reliability and was strongly associated with ePCI risk (odds ratio 2.14 per point, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.80-2.53, p < 0.001). Subgroup analyses confirmed the robustness of the association. The CCSE score outperformed traditional scores, including the Glasgow Coma Scale, Original Intracerebral Hemorrhage Scale, and Modified Intracerebral Hemorrhage A score (area under the curve = 0.91; 95% CI 0.86-0.95). Additionally, a nonlinear relationship was identified (p for nonlinearity = 0.002), with a CCSE score threshold ≥ 4.02 for risk discrimination.
conclusionsThe CCSE score may be a reliable and practical tool for predicting ePCI in patients with supratentorial ICH.
