The effect of software post-processing applications on identification of the penumbra and core within the ischaemic region in perfusion computed tomography.
Article in Polish journal of radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeAssessment of software applications designed for post-processing of CT imaging data and perfusion maps in terms of their ability to consistently define the penumbra and core in an ischemic area. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis study is based on measurements conducted in a group of 65 patients with neurological symptoms suggestive of ischaemia in the area of the MCA within 12 hours following onset of the first symptoms. Non-contrast and perfusion CT were performed during an emergency duty. The acquired data were processed using various programs to obtain defined ischaemic areas and parameters. Finally, the results obtained were compared to the distribution of penumbra and core within the ischaemic area received from different perfusion mapping programs.
resultsThe programs designed to convert the acquired data and to map the distribution of perfusion were also assessed for their viability in dividing the ischaemic zone into penumbra and core. There was a statistically strong correlation (0.784-0.846) between results obtained by processing of imaging data with two different packages, and then by post-processing with one package, and a poor correlation (0.315-0.554) between results obtained by processing of data with the same package, and post-processing with two different packages designed for measuring penumbra and core areas.
conclusionsThe results obtained by processing of imaging data with different software applications and by post-processing with one program developed for identifying penumbra and core areas show a strong correlation. However, the results obtained by processing imaging data with the same software application and by post-processing with different programs measuring penumbra and core areas reveal poor correlation.
