Identification and characterization of intracerebral hemorrhage events in elderly veterans with alzheimer's disease in the veterans affairs healthcare system.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and hypertensive (HTN) small vessel disease are causes of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We identified ICH rates in patients with all-cause mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer's disease (AD), and explored feasibility of using location-based approach to differentiate CAA- and HTN-related ICH using comorbidities in electronic health records (EHRs). This administrative study combined Veterans Affairs Healthcare System plus Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (VAHS/CMS) databases. Patients with MCI/AD aged ≥ 50 years (2016-2023) were 1:1 matched to non-MCI/AD controls. Inpatient primary discharge International Classification of Diseases-10th Edition (ICD-10) codes identified acute ICH; anatomical location within codes classified events as likely CAA- or HTN-related ICH. Incidence rates of ICH after MCI/AD were summarized. Cluster analysis of variables related to ICH was used to describe whether data-driven groupings matched clinician-postulated classifications. The MCI/AD cohort (n = 747,475) and controls were aged 77.7 ± 10.1 years (96% men, 75-76% White, 87-88% non-Hispanic). Demographic- and comorbidity-adjusted rates of ICH/1000 person-years were 0.84 (overall), 1.05 (MCI/AD), and 0.68 (non-MCI/AD). Adjusted events/1000 person-years were higher in MCI/AD vs. non-MCI/AD cohorts: CAA-related ICH, 0.19 vs. 0.12 (Incidence Rate Ratio (IRR) 1.63; P < 0.001); HTN-related ICH, 0.16 vs. 0.12 (IRR 1.35; P < 0.001); non-specific-ICH, 0.68 vs. 0.43 (IRR 1.59; P < 0.001). Hierarchical clustering analysis of our cohorts revealed an association of CAA-related ICH with older age, cardiovascular and rheumatic disorders, and an association of HTN-related ICH with cerebrovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes. In sum, the estimated incidence of ICH over the study period was 0.84/1000 person-years. CAA-related ICH incidence in MCI/AD was 63% greater than that in controls. Outcomes from cluster analysis are consistent with ICD-based CAA- vs. HTN-related ICH classifications. These findings support future exploration of using ICD coding-based ICH event identification in EHRs and claims databases for epidemiological studies.
