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

backgroundEvidence to guide the optimal timing of antiplatelet and oral anticoagulants (OACs) therapy after hemorrhagic infarction (HI) versus parenchymal hematoma (PH) is limited and inconsistent, leading to substantial variation in practice. This study's goal was to study the practice pattern and compare clinical outcomes associated with early-versus-delayed initiation of antiplatelet/OACs after hemorrhagic transformation (HT).

methodsThis multicenter, retrospective, cross-sectional study included patients with acute ischemic stroke and HT. Patients with an HI or PH were categorized by HT to antithrombotic initiation time, and their outcomes-30-day HT exacerbation, composite outcomes of recurrent stroke/systemic emboli, 90-day vascular death, and functional outcomes-were compared.

resultsOf 748 patients, 496 received antiplatelets, and 252 received OACs after HT. The median HT-to-antiplatelet time was significantly shorter after HI than PH (1 [interquartile range, 0-2] versus 3 [interquartile range, 1-5] days;

conclusionsOur study found no statistically significant difference in HT exacerbation between early and late initiation of antiplatelets or OACs among patients with HI/PH, while prolonged delay among patients with PH were accompanied by increased systemic thromboembolic events. Although these findings offer preliminary clinical insight, prospective studies are needed.
