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

Hypoperfusion is the typical perfusion pattern associated with recent small subcortical infarcts of the brain, but other perfusion patterns may be present in patients with these infarcts. Using CT perfusion, we studied 67 consecutive patients who had a small subcortical infarct at a follow-up MRI study to investigate the correlation between the perfusion pattern and the clinical and radiological course. On CT perfusion map analysis, 51 patients (76%) had focal hypoperfusion, 4 patients (6%) had hyperperfusion and the remaining 12 patients (18%) showed no abnormalities. On dynamic sequential imaging analysis obtained from the source perfusion images, 32 patients (48%) had a sustained hypoperfusion pattern, 11 patients (16%) had a reperfusion pattern, and 18 patients (27%) had a delayed compensation pattern. Systolic blood pressure was higher in patients with sustained hypoperfusion although the perfusion pattern was independent of the final volume of infarction. These results reinforce the notion that mechanisms other than hypoperfusion are at play in patients with small subcortical infarcts including the intervention of compensatory sources of blood flow. The ultimate clinical significance of these perfusion patterns remains to be determined in larger series of patients assessed longitudinally.
