Trends in hospitalizations for non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage in the United States: 2012-2020.
Article in BMC neurology, 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
backgroundAlthough non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) remains an important cause of death and disability worldwide, contemporary research on hospitalization trends over time and across demographic groups remains scarce.
methodsWe performed a cross-sectional study of U.S. SAH hospitalizations from 2012 to 2020 using data from the National Inpatient Sample. SAH-related hospital discharges were identified using diagnostic codes from the International Classification of Disease, Ninth and Tenth Revisions (ICD-9/10). Incidence per 100,000 hospitalizations was calculated (2012-2020), pre- and post- the ICD-9 to ICD-10 transition (2012-2015; 2016-2020), and yearly among all hospitalizations and in subgroups defined by patient age, sex, race and ethnicity, and hospital region. Linear regression models were used to estimate change in incidence over time (separately for 2012-2015 and 2016-2020). Estimates are reported per 100,000 hospitalizations.
resultsFrom 2012 to 2020, the overall incidence of SAH hospitalization was 88.9 per 100,000 hospital discharges (95%CI = 88.6,89.3). We observed a discontinuity in incidence prior to (72.9, 95%CI = 72.5,73.5) and after (102.1, 95%CI = 101.6,102.5) the transition to ICD-10. From 2012 to 2015 the annual incidence of non-traumatic SAH hospitalization was relatively stable (3.6, 95%CI=-0.1,7.3), but higher among males, individuals of White, Black, and Asian or Pacific Islander race, and in the Midwest. From 2016 to 2020, the annual incidence of non-traumatic SAH hospitalization decreased (-2.9, 95%CI=-3.4,-2.3). This finding was largely consistent across age, sex, race or ethnicity, and region subgroups, with the largest decrease in incidence observed for aged ≥ 75 years (-8.4, 95%CI=-12.7,-4.2) and for individuals of Asian or Pacific Islander race (-11.3, 95%CI=-20.2,-2.4).
conclusionsAlthough the incidence of non-traumatic SAH hospitalization remained stable from 2012 to 2015 and decreased from 2016 to 2020, our analysis suggests persistent differences in the risk of SAH hospitalization across subgroups defined by age, sex, and race/ethnicity.
