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

aimsCurrent intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) scoring systems quantify individual hemorrhage site features but do not account for differences in overall IVH distribution. We aimed to develop a scoring system based on overall IVH topographical patterns, and evaluate its value for predicting outcomes in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of a database including 385 patients with spontaneous ICH, IVH, and hematoma volumes < 40 mL between June 2019 and October 2024. We identified independent predictors of 30-day mortality, evaluated whether IVH spatial features could replace existing IVH scores, developed a novel IVH topographical score (ITS) scoring system, and compared it with four established scoring systems.

resultsThe IVH topographical patterns demonstrated significantly superior predictive performance for mortality compared with the original and modified Graeb scores. Multivariate analysis identified IVH topographical patterns, hydrocephalus, hematoma volume, and Glasgow Coma Scale score as independent predictors. The ITS demonstrated superior predictive performance for 30-day mortality compared with the other four, including in the external validation cohort (n = 102), while its performance for 6-month outcomes was comparable to the other four.

conclusionTopographical patterns of IVH provide an intuitive tool for risk stratification in patients with IVH. However, larger prospective studies are warranted to validate these findings in broader populations.
