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

An obvious treatment goal in patients suffering an acute stroke due to an occlusion of a cerebral vessel is restoring blood flow to ischemic tissue. Studies have shown that recanalization of blood vessels can be achieved through endovascular therapy using either thrombolytics or mechanical clot removal. Because the clinical response to intravenous thrombolysis is exquisitely time-dependent, patients should be treated as soon as possible. Intravenous thrombolysis is the initial therapy in patients who present within 3 hours of stroke onset. Endovascular therapy should be considered for patients with large-vessel occlusions who are not candidates for intravenous thrombolysis or who do not recanalize after intravenous thrombolysis.
