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

The number of potential patients who are actually treated for acute ischemic stroke is disappointingly low, and effective treatments are making a minor impact on this major public health problem. Imaging is not regularly used to identify the ischemic penumbra, a key concept in stroke physiology, though it is capable of doing so in a clinically relevant manner. Evidence is accumulating that identification of the ischemic penumbra and making treatment decisions on the basis of its presence provide substantial benefit to patient outcomes. Moreover, the same studies suggest that an unexpectedly large proportion of patients are suitable for therapy well past the traditional time windows because of the existence of a substantial ischemic penumbra. Modern MR imaging and CT systems, now widely available, are capable of answering the most relevant physiologic questions in acute ischemic stroke. This capability presents new opportunities and responsibilities to neuroradiologists to make appropriate imaging readily available and to have the imaging data rapidly processed and interpreted. In this article, acute ischemic stroke therapy, including the role of imaging in current medical practice, is reviewed, and an evidence-based alternative to contemporary acute ischemic stroke therapy is suggested.
