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

backgroundObjective assessment and quantification of the severity of cerebral vasospasm following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is not routinely utilized. We investigated the feasibility of angiographic perfusion imaging derived from digital subtraction angiography (DSA) following endovascular vasospasm treatment procedures. METHODOLOGY: Real-time blood flow analysis was performed using parametric color coding on pre- and postintervention DSA. Semiquantitative parenchymal perfusion parameters (arrival time [AT] of contrast, time to peak [TTP] opacification, and mean transit time [MTT] of contrast) were calculated across 3 vascular territories (anterior cerebral artery [ACA], middle cerebral artery [MCA], and lenticulostriate arteries) using standard 2-D angiographic perfusion software. The pre- and postintervention arterial vessel diameters were compared.

resultsTwelve endovascular vasospasm treatments in 6 patients were performed. All patients received intra-arterial vasodilator therapy with either nimodipine, milrinone, or both. Following intra-arterial intervention, parenchymal flow analysis showed improvement in TTP and MTT across all vascular territories (

conclusionReal-time parenchymal perfusion imaging during endovascular vasospasm treatment procedures is feasible and provides reliable semiquantitative measurement of angiographic treatment response.
