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

backgroundDelayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is not well understood. Recent studies suggest the involvement of neutrophil-mediated immunothrombosis via neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). We aimed to assess whether trajectories of NET biomarkers in patients with acute SAH are associated with DCI.

methodsThis was a prospective single-center study of patients within 48 hours of SAH onset. We collected clinical, laboratory, imaging, and 3-month outcome data. NET markers (H3Cit [citrullinated histone H3]-DNA complexes, myeloperoxidase-DNA complexes, cell-free DNA), along with peptidylarginine deiminase 4, and deoxyribonuclease activity were measured in plasma collected on admission (baseline), and post-SAH days 5 and 10. DCI was defined by clinical and imaging criteria. Generalized estimating equations examined differences in NET trajectories comparing patients with and without DCI.

resultsWe enrolled 40 patients with SAH (mean age, 57 years; n=21 [53%] women; 32 [80%] aneurysmal). DCI occurred in 12 (30%) patients. All NET levels were similar between groups at baseline. On day 5, those with DCI compared with those without DCI had elevated median H3Cit-DNA complex (63 ng/mL versus 31 ng/mL,

conclusionsIn patients with acute SAH, elevated plasma trajectories of NETs are associated with DCI.
