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: We automated subarachnoid hemorrhage volume (SAHV) calculation with artificial intelligence (SAHVAI) and created 3-dimensional volumetric images (SAHVAI-3D) using noncontrast head computed tomography data for patients with aneurysmal SAH. We also defined 4-dimensional SAHVAI (SAHVAI-4D), representing SAHV over time. We aimed to compare automated SAHVAI values and computational times to manual SAHV measurement methods, explore the potential of imaging biomarkers to identify at-risk brain regions for delayed cerebral ischemia and explore potential insights in future neurotherapeutic interventions for patient recovery after SAH. Methods: A training set of 10 consecutive patients with aneurysmal SAH was used to manually compute SAHV, SAHVAI-3D, and SAHVAI-4D, including 92 noncontrast computed tomography scans (182 slices each). The SAHVAI deep learning algorithm generated automated SAHV values in cubic centimeters. A 3-dimensional SAH brain map was created for each patient for the SAHVAI and manual evaluations. Blood volumetric outputs were analyzed and compared to neurologic outcomes at discharge, including delayed cerebral ischemia events, symptomatic vasospasm, and areas with the thickest SAH blood concentration. Results: SAHVAI quantified SAHV in a mean of 6.7 seconds per scan, significantly faster than the manual method, which took >60 minutes per scan (Fisher exact test, Conclusion: SAHVAI-3D and SAHVAI-4D brain mapping techniques represent innovative imaging biomarkers for SAH. These advancements enable rapid evaluation and targeted interventions, potentially improving patient care in SAH management.
