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

introductionIn patients with intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH), perihaematomal oedema (PHO) is considered a marker of secondary injury and is associated with worse functional outcomes. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been suggested to reduce PHO when performed within 72 h of symptom onset. However, the effect of early surgery on PHO formation remains unclear. We aimed to determine the effect of MIS within 8 h of ICH onset on PHO formation. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe included patients with spontaneous, supratentorial ICH ≥10 mL undergoing MIS within 8 h from the DIST-pilot study and compared them to patients receiving standard care from a cohort study. ICH and PHO volumes at baseline and 24(±12) h were manually segmented. The primary outcome was absolute PHO (aPHO) volume at 24 h. Secondary outcomes included aPHO growth between baseline, and 24 h and oedema extension distance (OED).

resultsWe included 34 patients (median age 61 years, 68% male) undergoing MIS and 16 patients (median age 65 years, 69% male) receiving standard medical care. At baseline, median ICH, aPHO and OED volume were similar between groups. Median aPHO volume at 24 h was similar between groups (median difference -3.0 mL, 95% CI, -19.4 to 9.8, P =.67), while median aPHO growth was smaller in the MIS-group (median difference -6.8 mL, 95% CI, -18.67 to 0.33, P =.002). Median OED was greater in the MIS-group (median difference 0.18 cm, 95% CI, 0.05-0.40, P =.002).

conclusionAbsolute PHO growth in the first 24 h after ICH was less pronounced after early MIS than after standard care, suggesting that early MIS may ameliorate secondary injury after ICH.
