Temporal Dynamics of Cerebral Autoregulation after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Insights from Pressure Reactivity Index and Non-injured Controls.

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
introductionAneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) disrupts cerebral autoregulation, contributing to secondary brain injury and poor outcomes. The low-frequency pressure reactivity index (LPRx) is an indirect index of autoregulatory function derived from invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) and arterial blood pressure (ABP) monitoring; however, its clinical dynamics in aSAH remain underexplored. This study aimed to characterize the temporal behavior of the LPRx in patients with aSAH, assess its response to standard interventions, and compare it with that in non-injured neurosurgical controls.
methodsThis retrospective study included 30 patients with aSAH and 28 controls who underwent tumor resection via external ventricular drain placement. The LPRx was calculated from continuous ICP and ABP recordings over the first 7 days post-admission. Outcomes included survival, functional status (Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended), and responses to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion and osmotherapy. The LPRx patterns were compared across groups and analyzed relative to the ICP and optimal cerebral perfusion pressure (CPPopt).
resultsThe LPRx was significantly higher in patients with aSAH than in controls, particularly among non-survivors. The LPRx showed a consistent U-shaped relationship with ICP, with optimal autoregulation at 5-15 mmHg. No significant changes in the LPRx were observed after CSF diversion, osmotherapy, or different treatment modalities. CPPopt showed no clear association with the LPRx.
conclusionThe LPRx is a feasible and physiologically relevant marker of autoregulatory integrity in aSAH. Its consistent elevation and non-linearity with ICP highlight its potential for individualized ICP management. Conventional interventions do not significantly restore autoregulation, highlighting the need for LPRx-informed treatment strategies.
