Predicting the outcome of specialist rehabilitation after non-traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage: a multicentre cohort analysis from the UK Rehabilitation Outcomes Collaborative (UKROC) database.

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
Background and methods: Non-traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage (ntSAH) is associated with high mortality and disability. This cohort analysis aims to assess the impact of inpatient rehabilitation after ntSAH using the UK Rehabilitation Outcomes Collaborative database 2012-2023. Patients who gained a Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) of 26.2 on functional independence (UK Functional Independence Measure+Functional Assessment Measure (UK FIM+FAM)) were compared with those who did not, using binary logistic regression to assess for predictors of positive outcomes. Results: Among 2928 patients with ntSAH (1209 men and 1719 women, mean age 58 years (SD 13.2)), 1287 achieved MCID. Following inpatient rehabilitation, the mean total UK FIM+FAM improved by 42.3 points (95% CI 41.0 to 43.6, p=0.001), care needs reduced by a mean of 26.6 hours/week (95% CI 25.2 to 28.1, p=0.001) and care costs by a mean of £1998/week (95% CI 1872 to 2124, p=0.001). Admission to rehabilitation within 30 days of referral was associated with achieving MCID (1.638-2.673, p<0.001). Achieving MCID in either cognitive (1.730-3.180, p<0.001) or motor (1.527-4.893, p<0.001) subsections was associated with significantly increased odds of home discharge. Conclusions: Rehabilitation improves functional outcomes following ntSAH. Predictors of achieving MCID include ethnicity, time from referral to admission and admission Patient Categorisation Tool scores. Predictors of home discharge include length of stay, dependency on admission and achieving MCID in Motor and/or Cognitive FIM domains.
