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

Background and aims: Elevated cardiac troponin (cTn) levels (representing myocardial injury) are frequently found in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). Overall, the relationship between sICH and elevated cTn levels is not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate patient characteristics and clinical parameters in patients with sICH and myocardial injury. Methods: This is a retrospective observational study based on the Mannheim Stroke database. Consecutive patient cases with acute symptomatic sICH and available high-sensitivity cTn I (hs-cTnI) at hospital admission between 2015 and 2021 were included. Group comparisons of patient, clinical and imaging characteristics were performed between groups with and without hs-cTnI elevation. In addition, variables with suspected predictive clinical significance for hs-cTnI elevation were analyzed for their predictive value using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 93/498 patients with sICH (18.7%; mean age 73 ± 15 years; 51.9% females) had a hs-cTnI elevation. These patients did not have a more pronounced cerebrovascular risk profile and had a comparably low prevalence of coronary artery disease (18.5%, Conclusions: Myocardial injury is common in patients with sICH. Unlike in AIS patients, elevated hs-cTnI levels were not associated with a worse functional or mortality-related in-hospital outcome. Except for clinically relevant aortic valve stenosis, structural heart disease had no significant influence as a predictor. We therefore suggest that hs-cTnI elevation in patients with sICH is related to acute myocardial damage along the brain-heart axis.
