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 purpose: Accurate prediction of functional outcome after hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) remains challenging. Temporal muscle volume (TMV), measurable on routine head computed tomography (CT), may reflect skeletal muscle status. This study investigated longitudinal TMV changes, the factors associated with these changes, and their prognostic value in HICH. Materials and methods: This single-center retrospective study included 149 patients with HICH involving the thalamus or basal ganglia admitted between January 2022 and December 2023. TMV was measured on admission and follow-up CT scans during weeks 1-3. Absolute temporal muscle volume loss (ATMVL) and temporal muscle volume reduction rate (TMVRR) were calculated relative to baseline. Six-month functional outcome was assessed using the modified Rankin Scale; scores of 3-6 indicated an unfavorable outcome. Results: Mean admission TMV was 32.3 ± 13.5 cm Conclusion: Temporal muscle loss progresses during hospitalization in patients with HICH. Week 2 TMVRR and ATMVL may provide practical CT-based markers that complement established predictors of functional outcome.
