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

Intracerebral hemorrhage is a severe type of stroke with high morbidity and mortality. Accurate assessment of hemorrhage phase is essential for determining treatment strategies, but magnetic resonance imaging evaluation remains subjective and lacks standardized criteria. This study aimed to create an objective method for estimating the phase of intracerebral hemorrhage using multi-sequence magnetic resonance imaging with 6 sequences: T1-weighted imaging, T2-weighted imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging, apparent diffusion coefficient map, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, and T2 star-weighted magnetic resonance angiography. We retrospectively analyzed 56 patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. Magnetic resonance images used in this study were acquired using GE 1.5T scanners. Relative signal intensities were calculated using the pons as a reference, and a hemorrhage map was generated using color-coding pixels according to the 5 hemorrhage phases. Seven observers performed visual evaluations under 2 conditions: conventional image sets and hemorrhage maps. Diagnostic performance was assessed using precision-recall curves, average precision, and mean average precision. Interobserver agreement was evaluated using Fleiss' κ coefficient. The mean average precision of visual evaluation with the hemorrhage map was significantly higher than that of visual evaluation with original images (0.81 vs. 0.57, p < 0.01). Visual evaluation with hemorrhage map achieved "Almost perfect agreement" (κ = 0.85), whereas visual evaluation with original images demonstrated only "Slight agreement" (κ = 0.06). This study developed a novel diagnostic support method for estimating intracerebral hemorrhage phase using multi-sequence magnetic resonance imaging. By visualizing relative signal intensity as a color-coded hemorrhage map, the proposed method significantly improved both diagnostic accuracy and interobserver agreement compared with conventional visual evaluation.
