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

Cerebral vasospasm is determined as a temporary narrowing of cerebral arteries a few days after an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The onset of this vascular event usually evolves with new neurological deficits or progression of ischemic areas. The success of interventions to treat or revert this condition is not satisfying. In addition to cerebral vasospasm, early brain injury plays an important role as a contributor to subarachnoid hemorrhage's mortality. In this sense, stellate ganglion block appears as an alternative to reduce sympathetic system's activation, one of the main pathophysiological mechanisms involved in brain injury. Over the past few years, there is growing evidence that stellate ganglion block can contribute to decline patient morbidity from subarachnoid hemorrhage. Is it time to include this procedure as a standard treatment after aneurysm rupture?
