Development of regional stroke programs.
Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The organization of stroke care has undergone a dramatic evolution in the USA over the last two decades. Beginning with the recommendation for Primary Stroke Centers (PSCs) in 1994, there has been a concerted effort by physicians, the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association (AHA/ASA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and state legislatures to advance an evidence-based system of care with several tiers of stroke centers. At the apex of this structure are Regional Stroke Centers (RSCs), which do not have official recognition like PSCs and Comprehensive Stroke Centers (CSCs), but their existence as a hub for the many disparate spokes of stroke care in their region is increasingly necessary. Observational evidence suggests that this approach is improving the delivery of stroke care and reducing costs in the USA. Similar efforts are being made in Europe and Asia with encouraging results. The RSC model has the potential to lead to more uniform evidence-based stroke medicine, but many challenges exist.
