Imaging assessment of acute ischaemic stroke: a review of radiological methods.
Review in The British journal of radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Acute ischaemic stroke is the second largest cause of death worldwide and a cause of major physical and psychological morbidity. Current evidence based treatment includes intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT), both requiring careful patient selection and to be administered as quickly as possible within a limited time window from symptom onset. Imaging plays a crucial role identifying patients who may benefit from MT or IVT whilst excluding those that may be harmed. For IVT, imaging must as a minimum exclude haemorrhage, stroke mimics and provide an estimate of non-viable brain. For MT, imaging must in addition detect and characterize intra-arterial thrombus and assess the intra and extracranial arterial architecture. More advanced imaging techniques may be used to assess more accurately the volume of non-viable and potentially salvageable brain tissue. It is highly likely that further research will identify patients who would benefit from treatment beyond currently accepted time windows for IVT (4.5 h) and MT (6 h) and patients with an unknown time of symptom onset. Current evidence indicates that best outcomes are achieved when treatment is instituted as soon as possible after symptom onset. A rapid, efficient imaging pathway including interpretation is fundamental to achieving the best outcomes. This review summarizes current techniques for imaging assessment of acute stroke, highlighting strengths and limitations of each. The optimum pathway is a balance between diagnostic information, local resources, specialization and the time taken to acquire, process and interpret the data. As new evidence emerges, it is likely that the minimum required imaging data will change.
