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

objectiveThe aim of this study is to explore whether preoperative hemoglobin levels could serve as a prospective biomarker for early brain injury in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). This investigation seeks to discern its association with postoperative complications and unfavorable clinical outcomes.

methodsWe conducted a comprehensive analysis of data derived from the LongTeam registry, including patients with aSAH diagnosed between January 2015 and September 2021. These patients were stratified into three distinct groups based on their hemoglobin levels: anemic, standard, and elevated HGB. We employed logistic models featuring spline transformations to assess the relationship between HGB levels and in-hospital complications. Furthermore, a multivariate Cox proportional hazard model was employed to estimate the impact of elevated hemoglobin levels on the hazard function, which was elucidated through Kaplan-Meier curves.

resultsOur study comprised a total of 988 patients, among whom 115 (11.6%) presented preoperative anemia, and 63 (6.4%) exhibited elevated preoperative HGB levels. Following adjustments for potential confounding factors, no significant disparity in risk was evident between anemic patients and those with standard HGB levels. However, individuals with elevated HGB levels displayed a heightened incidence and an increased risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT, odds ratio [OR] = 2.39, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.16-4.91, p = 0.018; hazard ratio [HR] = 2.05, 95% CI 1.08-3.92, p = 0.015). Aberrant HGB concentrations did not demonstrate an association with other clinical outcomes.

conclusionOur findings emphasize that abnormal HGB levels show no association with adverse outcomes at the 90 days mark after accounting for clinical confounding factors in patients with aSAH. Simultaneously, the study illuminates the potential of HGB as an early indicator for identifying patients at a heightened risk of developing DVT.
