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

backgroundCerebrovascular disease represents a major source of global mortality and morbidity. Imaging examinations play a critical role in the management of stroke patients, from establishing the initial diagnosis to determining and guiding further treatment.

methodsIn this article, current CT and MRI methods employed in the management of stroke patients are reviewed, with an emphasis on ischemic stroke.

resultsThe advantages and disadvantages of these techniques are discussed, a number of cases emphasizing key points are presented, and a comparison between modern CT and MRI techniques is outlined.

conclusionThe major drawback of CT is the high radiation dose, while in MRI it is the more complicated and time-consuming aspect of the examination. MAIN MESSAGES: • Cerebrovascular disease represents a major source of global mortality and morbidity • Imaging examinations play a critical role in the management of stroke patients • The penumbra may be seen with both CT and MRI; however, this concept may be overly simplistic • The major drawback of CT is the high radiation dose, while MRI is a more complicated examination.
