Effects of medication intake on the risk of hemorrhage in patients with sporadic cerebral cavernous malformations.

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
Objective: Recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) poses a high risk for patients with cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs). This study aimed to assess the influence of medication intake on hemorrhage risk in sporadic CCMs. Methods: From a database of 1,409 consecutive patients with CCM (2003-2021), subjects with sporadic CCMs and complete magnetic resonance imaging data were included. We evaluated the presence of ICH as a mode of presentation, the occurrence of ICH during follow-up, and medication intake, including beta blockers, statins, antithrombotic therapy, and thyroid hormones. The impact of medication intake on ICH at presentation was calculated using univariate and multivariate logistic regression with age and sex adjustment. The longitudinal cumulative 5-year risk for (re-)hemorrhage was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier curves and the Cox regression analysis. Results: A total of 1116 patients with CCM were included. Logistic regression analysis showed a significant correlation (OR: 0.520, 95% CI: 0.284-0.951, Conclusion: In this observational study, antithrombotic treatment was associated with the tendency to a lower rate of ICH as a mode of presentation in a large cohort of patients with sporadic CCM. Intake of beta blockers, statins, and thyroid hormones had no effect on hemorrhage as a mode of presentation. During the 5-year follow-up period, none of the drugs affected the further risk of (re-)hemorrhage.
