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

The efficiency of telestroke programs in improving the rates of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) in stroke patients has been reported. Previous studies have reported favorable treatment outcomes with the use of telestroke programs to improve the use of rtPA, but functional outcomes are not fully understood. This study investigated the effect of telestroke technology in the administration of rtPA and related functional outcomes associated with baseline clinical variables. Retrospective data of a telestroke registry were analyzed. Univariate analysis was used to compare demographic and clinical variables in the rtPA group and the no rtPA group and between the improved functional ambulation group and the no improvement group. A stepwise binary logistic regression identified factors associated with improved functional outcome in the total telestroke population and in the subset of the telestroke population who received rtPA. In adjusted analysis and elimination of any multicollinearity for patients who received rtPA in the telestroke setting, obesity (odds ratio [OR] = 2.138, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.164-3.928,
