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 correlation between temporal changes of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and the severity of transient ischemic stroke in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) was investigated using T2-, diffusion- and perfusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging at six different time points: before and during 1h of unilateral middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), 1h after reperfusion, and 1 day, 4 days and 7 days after MCAO. rCBF values were measured in both hemispheres, and the perfusion-deficient lesion (PDL) was defined as the area of the brain with a 57% or more reduction in basal CBF. Within the PDL, regions were further refined as ischemic core (rCBF=0-6 mL/100 g/min), ischemic penumbra (rCBF=6-15 mL/100 g/min) and benign oligemia (rCBF>15 mL/100 g/min). SHR and WKY had identical initial volume of the PDLs (WKY: 32.52 ± 4.08% vs. SHR: 33.95 ± 3.68%; P>0.05) and the maximum rCBF measured within those lesions (WKY: 38.20 ± 3.57 mL/100g/min vs. SHR: 38.46 ± 6.22 mL/100 g/min; P>0.05) during MCAO. However, in SHR virtually all of the PDL progressed to become the final ischemic lesion (33.02 ± 5.41%, P>0.05), while the final ischemic lesion volume of WKY (12.62 ± 9.19%) was significantly smaller than their original PDL (P<0.01) and similar to the ischemic core (13.13 ± 2.96%, P>0.05). The region with the lowest range of rCBF was positively correlated with the final ischemic lesion volume (r=0.716, P<0.01). Both during ischemia and after reperfusion, rCBF in either ipsilesional and contralesional brain hemispheres of SHR could not be restored to pre-ischemic levels, and remained lower than in WKY until up to 4 days after MCAO. The data suggest that impaired CBF regulation and relatively high CBF threshold for ischemia are strong contributors to the increased susceptibility of SHR to ischemic stroke.
