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

Stroke units (SU) have been certified for many years by the German Stroke Society (DSG) and the German Stroke Aid Foundation (SDSH). Since 2009 this is now undertaken in the third generation by the LGA InterCert of the Technical Surveillance Society of Rhineland (TÜV Rheinland). This article presents the amended certification criteria which came into effect in 2012. Many criteria and definitions could be further defined and specified and residual grey areas and fields of conflict could be reduced. For the first time a distinction has been made between the minimum requirements relevant for certification and additional recommendations by the SU Commission of the DSG. In this manner the authors are aiming to motivate SU operators not just to align quality assurance measures to the minimum requirements but to deliberately go beyond them. There is a great deal of evidence to indicate that this will not only serve to increase the motivation of personnel and the quality of treatment but simultaneously the economic situation can also be improved.
