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

opinion statementNeuroimaging is essential in the evaluation of the acute stroke patient. Computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should be used to confirm the diagnosis of acute stroke, exclude stroke mimics, and triage patients for intravenous tissue plasminogen activator and endovascular revascularization therapies. Advanced neuroimaging techniques, including CT-angiography, MR-angiography, CT-perfusion, and MR-perfusion should be used to further inform acute stroke treatment decisions. Patients considered for endovascular stroke therapy should have (1) a vascular occlusion that can be reached by an endovascular approach; (2) a small area of core cerebral infarction; and (3) viable tissue at risk of infarction if prompt revascularization is not achieved (penumbra).
