Temporal Patterns of Fever Onset as an Indicator of Etiology in Intracerebral Hemorrhage.
Article in Neurology international, 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
backgroundFever occurs frequently in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and is associated with worse functional outcomes. Rapid identification of the fever's cause is crucial for guiding diagnostics and treatment. Data on the distribution of different fever causes in ICH are limited, and the diagnostic value of the day of fever onset remains uncertain. This study aimed to assess the distribution of fever causes in a large cohort of ICH patients and to evaluate whether temporal patterns of fever onset are associated with its underlying cause in a clinically meaningful manner.
methodsThis retrospective single-center study included 547 patients with spontaneous ICH. Fever was defined as a body temperature exceeding 38.3 °C for at least two consecutive days. Fever causes were evaluated by two blinded investigators and categorized as infectious, central, or other causes. Infectious fever causes were further specified.
resultsFever occurred in 213 patients (39%) and was associated with longer hospital and ICU stays (both
conclusionsIn ICH, the day of fever onset may provide a useful clue to its etiology and could support clinical decision-making, but prospective validation is needed.
