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

objectivesTo compare collateral status on single-phase CT angiography (sCTA) and multiphase CT angiography (mCTA) and their ability to predict a target mismatch on CT perfusion (CTP) and clinical outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

methodsSeventy-three AIS patients with stroke onset between 5 and 15 h or with unclear onset time and occlusions in the M1/M2 segment of the middle cerebral artery and/or intracranial internal carotid artery underwent head non-contrast CT and CTP. Simulated sCTA and mCTA were reconstructed from CTP data and were compared for collaterals assessment. The ability to predict target mismatch on CTP (an ischemic core < 70 ml, a mismatch ratio ≥ 1.8, and an absolute difference ≥ 15 ml) and 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0-2 was compared between sCTA and mCTA by using receiver operating curve analysis.

resultssCTA underestimated the collateral status when compared with mCTA (p < 0.01). The ability of mCTA to predict target mismatch (AUC = 0.902, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.809, 0.959) and clinical outcome (AUC = 0.771; 95% CI, 0.655, 0.864) was better than that of sCTA (p < 0.05 overall). A mCTA collateral score of > 3 best identified the target mismatch (sensitivity, 78.4%; specificity, 90.9%) and predicted 90-day mRS score of 0-2 (sensitivity, 84.8%; specificity, 69.4%).

conclusionsThe collaterals were better estimated by mCTA compared with sCTA. A mCTA collateral score of > 3 optimized the prediction of a target mismatch on CTP and a good clinical outcome in patients with AIS. KEY POINTS: • Collateral circulation is a key determinant of ischemic core and penumbra. Better collaterals are associated with smaller ischemic core volumes and larger mismatch ratios on CT perfusion. • The collaterals can be better estimated by multiphase CTA compared with single-phase CTA. • A collateral score of > 3 on multiphase CTA best identifies patients with target mismatch on CT perfusion and predicts 90-day mRS score of 0-2.
