Efficacy of pregabalin in the treatment of acute cerebral hemorrhage and its influence on prognosis.
Article in Frontiers in pharmacology, 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
Introduction: Acute cerebral hemorrhage leads to high disability and mortality. Pregabalin, an α2δ1 subunit inhibitor, may reduce NMDA receptor-mediated neuronal injury and improve neurological outcomes. Methods: In this study, 158 patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage underwent minimally invasive hematoma evacuation and were assigned to receive either pregabalin or placebo for 2 weeks. Primary outcomes included hematoma volume, serum MMP2/MMP9 levels, neurological function (NIHSS), quality of life (ADL), and prognosis (GOS). Results: After 2 weeks of treatment, the pregabalin group showed significantly smaller hematoma volume compared with the control group (p < 0.01). Serum MMP2 and MMP9 levels were also significantly lower in the pregabalin group (both p < 0.01). At 12-week follow-up, patients receiving pregabalin demonstrated better neurological recovery (NIHSS, p < 0.01), improved quality of life (ADL, p < 0.01), and a higher proportion of favorable GOS outcomes (54.9% vs. 31.9%, p = 0.022). Conclusion: Pregabalin adjunct therapy significantly reduces hematoma volume, decreases MMP2/MMP9 levels, and improves neurological function and prognosis in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage.
