Reperfusion Beyond 6 Hours Reduces Infarct Probability in Moderately Ischemic Brain Tissue.
Observational study in Stroke, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
background and purposeWe aimed to examine perfusion changes between 3 and 6 and 6 and 24 hours after stroke onset and their impact on tissue outcome.
methodsAcute ischemic stroke patients underwent perfusion magnetic resonance imaging at 3, 6, and 24 hours after stroke onset and follow-up fluid-attenuated inversion recovery at 1 month to assess tissue fate. Mean transit time prolongation maps (MTTp=MTT-[median MTT of contralateral hemisphere]) were obtained at 3 (MTTp3 h), 6 (MTTp6 h), and 24 hours (MTTp24 h). Perfusion changes between 3 and 6 hours (ΔMTTp3_6) and 6 and 24 hours (ΔMTTp6_24) were calculated. A 2-step analysis was performed to evaluate the impact of ΔMTTp3_6 and ΔMTTp6_24 on tissue fate. First, a voxel-based multivariable logistic regression was performed for each individual patient with MTTp3 h, ΔMTTp3_6, and ΔMTT6_24 as independent variables and tissue fate as outcome. Second, Wilcoxon signed-rank tests on logistic regression coefficients were performed across patients to evaluate whether ΔMTTp3_6 and ΔMTT6_24 had significant impact on tissue fate for varying severities of baseline perfusion.
resultsPerfusion change was common during both time periods: 85% and 81% of patients had perfusion improvement during 3- to 6- and 6- and 24-hour time intervals, respectively. ΔMTT3_6 significantly influenced 1-month infarct probability across a wide range of baseline perfusion (MTTp 0-15 s). ΔMTT6_24 also impacted 1-month infarct probability, but its influence was restricted to tissue with milder baseline ischemia (MTTp 0-10 s).
conclusionsBrain tissue with mild to moderate ischemia can be salvaged by reperfusion even after 6 hours. Such tissue could be targeted for intervention beyond current treatment windows.
