COVID-19 Infection Is Associated With Poor Outcomes in Patients With Intracerebral Hemorrhage.
Observational study in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2024. 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
backgroundPatients with ischemic stroke and concomitant COVID-19 infection have worse outcomes than those without this infection, but the impact of COVID-19 on hemorrhagic stroke remains unclear. We aimed to assess if COVID-19 worsens outcomes in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). METHODS AND
resultsWe conducted an observational study of ICH outcomes using Get With The Guidelines Stroke data. We compared patients with ICH who were COVID-19 positive and negative during the pandemic (March 2020-February 2021) and prepandemic (March 2019-February 2020). Main outcomes were poor functional outcome (defined as a modified Rankin scale score of 4 to 6 at discharge), mortality, and discharge to a skilled nursing facility or hospice. The first stage included 60 091 patients with ICH who were COVID-19 negative and 1326 COVID-19 positive. In multivariable analyses, patients with ICH with versus without COVID-19 infection had 68% higher odds of poor outcome (odds ratio [OR], 1.68 [95% CI, 1.41-2.01]), 51% higher odds of mortality (OR, 1.51 [95% CI, 1.33-1.71]), and 66% higher odds of being discharged to a skilled nursing facility/hospice (OR, 1.66 [95% CI, 1.43-1.93]). The second stage included 62 743 prepandemic and 64 681 intrapandemic cases with ICH. In multivariable analyses, patients with ICH admitted during versus before the COVID-19 pandemic had 10% higher odds of poor outcomes (OR, 1.10 [95% CI, 1.07-1.14]), 5% higher mortality (OR, 1.05 [95% CI, 1.02-1.08]), and no significant difference in the risk of being discharged to a skilled nursing facility/hospice (OR, 0.93 [95% CI, 0.90-0.95]).
conclusionsThe pathophysiology of the COVID-19 infection and changes in health care delivery during the pandemic played a role in worsening outcomes in the patient population with ICH.
