Effect of statin therapy patterns on readmission and mortality in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.

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
There is limited and inconsistent evidence for the association of statin therapy and statin treatment patterns with the risk of recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in patients with prior ICH. To assess the association of statin therapy and its intensity, type, initiation time, and discontinuation with the risk of recurrent ICH and mortality in Chinese patients with ICH. Patients with newly diagnosed ICH in the Beijing Employee Medical Claims Data database from 2010 to 2017 were included. Post-ICH statin users (post-diagnosis only) and nonusers (never), statin discontinuers (pre-diagnosis only) and continuers (pre- and post-diagnosis) were matched on a 1:1 propensity score, respectively. Adjusted Cox proportional risk models were used to estimate the risk ratios for ICH readmission and mortality under various statin patterns. A total of 2668 post-ICH statin users and 2668 nonusers without a history of statin use were enrolled. Post-ICH statin users had a lower risk of ICH readmission (HR, 0.57; 95% CI 0.48, 0.69) and all-cause death (0.56: 0.49, 0.63) than nonusers. Low/moderate-intensity treatment was associated with a 63% lower risk of recurrent ICH compared with nonusers (0.37: 0.29, 0.46), whereas high-intensity treatment did not reduce the risk (0.93: 0.74, 1.16). Both low/moderate-intensity (0.42: 0.36, 0.48) and high-intensity statins (0.57: 0.48, 0.69) were associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality. The risk of ICH readmission was 53% (0.47: 0.30, 0.74) lower with adherence to rosuvastatin than with atorvastatin. Only starting medication within 30 days of the first diagnosis of ICH reduced the risk of ICH readmission (0.49: 0.40, 0.60). Among patients with a history of statin use, 1807 discontinuing and 1,807 continuing users of statins were included. The risk of ICH readmission (4.00: 3.32, 4.80) and the risk of all-cause death (4.01: 3.57, 4.50) were substantially increased in statin discontinuation compared with continued statin use. Statin therapy after ICH was associated with lower risks for ICH readmission and all-cause mortality compared with non-statin therapy, especially at low/moderate intensity and early initiation of statins after ICH. Adherence to rosuvastatin was associated with a lower risk of recurrence of ICH than atorvastatin. Among patients with a statin history prior to ICH, discontinuation of statins after ICH was associated with increased risk of ICH recurrence and death.
