Predictive value of the admission IBIL/TBIL ratio for poor prognosis after surgical treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage.
Article in Frontiers in neurology. 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
Background: Serum bilirubin levels are associated with the prognosis of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). However, the specific predictive value of the indirect-to-total bilirubin (IBIL/TBIL) ratio in patients undergoing surgical hematoma evacuation remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between the admission IBIL/TBIL ratio and 3-month functional outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 168 sICH patients who underwent surgical intervention between January 2024 and December 2025. The primary predictor was the admission IBIL/TBIL ratio. The primary outcome was the 3-month functional outcome, evaluated using the utility-weighted modified Rankin Scale (uw-mRS). Multivariable linear regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were utilized to assess the independent and non-linear associations. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to compare predictive performances. Results: Multivariable regression analysis demonstrated that a higher IBIL/TBIL ratio was independently associated with improved functional outcomes [ln(uw-mRS + 1)] after adjusting for age, admission NIHSS score, initial hematoma volume, brain herniation, and secondary intraventricular hemorrhage (overall model Conclusion: The admission IBIL/TBIL ratio is linearly and independently associated with 3-month functional outcome in sICH patients following surgical evacuation. As an inexpensive and routinely available biomarker, it may serve as an adjunctive prognostic indicator, but it should not be interpreted as a standalone replacement for established clinical severity measures.
