Susceptibility-weighted imaging predicts infarct size and early-stage clinical prognosis in acute ischemic stroke.
Article in Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) is a non-invasive technique that can reveal venous structures and iron in the brain. This retrospective study evaluated SWI, relative to other imaging techniques, for determining cerebral infarct size and early-stage clinical prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Within 3 days after onset, 22 patients with acute ischemic stroke underwent SWI, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI), fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). At least 7 days after onset, the patients also underwent cranial FLAIR or computed tomography (CT). The severity of neurological damage was adjudged with NIHSS (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale) scores. The imaged cranial lesions were evaluated according to ASPECTS (Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score). The SWI-ASPECTS significantly correlated with mean transit time (MTT)-ASPECTS (Spearman's test, r = 0.662, P = 0.001) in evaluating ischemic penumbra and significantly correlated with the FLAIR and CT-ASPECTS (Spearman's test, r = 0.765, P < 0.001) in predicting infarct size. SWI is feasible for the early evaluation of cerebral infarct size and clinical prognosis of patients with acute cerebral infarction. SWI is a useful predictor of early infarct growth and early-stage outcome.
