Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating stroke with many mechanisms of injury. Edema worsens outcome and can lead to mortality after ICH. Glibenclamide (GLC), a sulfonylurea 1- transient receptor potential melastatin 4 (Sur1-Trpm4) channel blocker, has been shown to attenuate edema in ischemic stroke models, raising the possibility of benefit in ICH. This meta-analysis synthesizes current pre-clinical (rodent) literature regarding the efficacy of post-ICH GLC administration (vs. vehicle controls) on behaviour (i.e., neurological deficit, motor, and memory outcomes), edema, hematoma volume, and injury volume. Six studies (5 in rats and 1 in mice) were included in our meta-analysis (PROSPERO registration = CRD42021283614). GLC significantly improved behaviour (standardized mean difference (SMD) = -0.63, [-1.16, -0.09], n = 70-74) and reduced edema (SMD = -0.91, [-1.64, -0.18], n = 70), but did not affect hematoma volume (SMD = 0.0788, [-0.5631, 0.7207], n = 18-20), or injury volume (SMD = 0.2892, [-0.4950, 1.0734], n = 24). However, these results should be interpreted cautiously. Findings were conflicted with 2 negative and 4 positive reports, and Egger regressions indicated missing negative edema data (p = 0.0001), and possible missing negative behavioural data (p = 0.0766). Experimental quality assessed via the SYRCLE and CAMARADES checklists was concerning, as most studies demonstrated high risks of bias. Studies were generally low-powered (e.g., average n = 14.4 for behaviour), and future studies should employ sample sizes of 41 to detect our observed effect size in behaviour and 33 to detect our observed effect in edema. Overall, missing negative studies, low study quality, high risk of bias, and incomplete attention to key recommendations (e.g., investigating female, aged, and co-morbid animals) suggest that further high-powered confirmatory studies are needed before conclusive statements about GLC's efficacy in ICH can be made, and before further clinical trials are performed.
