Impact of "Stroke Code"-Rapid Response Team: An Attempt to Improve Intravenous Thrombolysis Rate and to Shorten Door-to-Needle Time in Acute Ischemic Stroke.
Article in Indian journal of critical care medicine : peer-reviewed, official publication of Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
objective"Stroke code" (SC) implementation in hospitals can improve the rate of thrombolysis and the timeline in care of stroke patient. MATERIALS AND
methodsA prospective data of patients treated for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after implementation of "SC" (post-SC era) were analyzed (2015-2016) and compared with the retrospective data of patients treated in the "pre-SC era." Parameters such as symptom-to-door, door-to-physician, door-to-imaging, door-to-needle (DTN), and symptom-to-needle time were calculated. The severity of stroke was calculated using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Score (NIHSS) before and after treatment.
resultsPatients presented with stroke symptoms in pre- and post-SC era (695 vs. 610) and, out of these, patients who came in window period constituted 148 (21%) and 210 (34%), respectively. Patients thrombolyzed in pre- and post-SC era were 44 (29.7%) and 65 (44.52%), respectively. Average DTN time was 104.95 min in pre-SC era and reduced to 67.28 min (
conclusionImplementation of SC helped us to increase thrombolysis rate in AIS and decrease DTN time.
