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

backgroundSpontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) remains associated with high mortality and long-term disability worldwide. Since the publication of the Surgical Trial in Intracerebral Haemorrhage (STICH) in 2005, numerous randomized controlled trials have evaluated surgical, pharmacological, and physiological interventions, yet most have not demonstrated consistent improvements in functional outcomes.

methodsWe critically reviewed major randomized controlled trials and influential studies of acute sICH treatment published over the past two decades, with particular attention to surgical strategies, physiological and pharmacological interventions, treatment timing, patient selection, and sex-related biological heterogeneity.

resultsMost conventional surgical and single-target medical interventions yielded neutral or modest results. Recent trials suggest that carefully selected surgery, early intervention, and bundled protocolized care may provide greater benefit. However, optimal treatment timing and sex-specific biological differences remain insufficiently investigated.

conclusionsFurther progress in acute sICH treatment will require time-sensitive, mechanism-informed, anatomically tailored, and sex-aware multimodal treatment strategies rather than isolated interventions.
