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

In a retrospective audit of 89 adults with spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) at a tertiary neuroscience centre, fewer than 60% met the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) blood pressure (BP) target in the year before their haemorrhage, despite most carrying a known diagnosis of hypertension. Blood pressure control and antihypertensive prescribing improved after ICH, yet most survivors remained above the European Stroke Organisation (ESO) secondary-prevention target, and the first documented community BP check occurred a median of 62 days after discharge. These findings expose primary- and secondary-prevention gaps spanning the whole care pathway and lend support to a structured, protocolised uptitration pathway after discharge, combining remote BP monitoring with pharmacist- or nurse-led dose escalation.
