Tissue at risk in acute stroke patients treated beyond 8 h after symptom onset.
Article in Neuroradiology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
introductionThe decision on thrombolytics administration is usually based on a generalized, rigid time-based rule rather than an individualized evaluation of the "tissue at risk of infarction" which is the target of the recanalization therapies. The goals of our article are to assess whether there is tissue at risk of infarction in a group of acute stroke patients treated beyond 8 h after symptom onset and to investigate the baseline imaging and clinical features that predict the fate of this tissue at risk.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed a series of patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with endovascular recanalization therapies beyond 8 h after symptom onset. The tissue at risk was calculated as the difference between the infarct volumes on baseline and follow-up imaging (infarct growth). We analyzed the epidemiological distribution of infarct growth, and we performed a multivariate regression analysis to identify the baseline variables that predict infarct growth.
resultsOur study group included 75 patients (65 ± 13.8 years, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale 14 ± 4.9, time to treatment 15.2 ± 8.7 h). The mean infarct growth was 78.6 ± 95.0 cc (p < 0.001), and, overall, the infarct growth was greater when the baseline volume of infarct tissue was small (p < 0.001) and in the case of a unsuccessful arterial recanalization (p = 0.001).
conclusionsThere is potentially salvageable ischemic tissue at risk in acute stroke patients treated beyond 8 h after symptom onset.
