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

objectiveHerein, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of intra-arterial mild hypothermia in combination with arterial thrombolysis to treat acute cerebral infarction due to middle cerebral artery occlusion.

methodsA total of 26 patients with acute middle cerebral artery occlusion were divided into a normothermia group (n = 15) and a mild hypothermia group (n = 11). The infarct volumes at 24 h and 7 days after the operation were compared between the normothermia group and the mild hypothermia group. Additionally, we compared neurological deficit scores between the two groups at 24 h, 7 days, and 1 mo after the operation.

resultsThe infarct volumes and neurological deficit scores of the mild hypothermia group were significantly reduced compared to those in the normothermia group (

conclusionIntra-arterial mild hypothermia reduced infarct volume after ischemia-reperfusion injury in the arterial thrombolysis of an acute cerebral infarction. Additionally, it improved the prognosis of patients with an acute middle cerebral artery occlusion, suggesting that this procedure is safe and effective for treating acute cerebral infarction.
