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

backgroundThe functional prognosis of patients with carotid T occlusion is poor, but few comprehensive studies have investigated carotid non-T occlusion, in which the terminal internal carotid artery portion is unobstructed. We aimed to elucidate the clinical features of carotid non-T occlusion by comparing patients with acute carotid T occlusion and carotid non-T occlusion.

methodsAmong 362 patients who underwent thrombectomy between January 2015 and June 2018, 20 and 61 were diagnosed with carotid non-T occlusion and carotid T occlusion, respectively. We compared preoperative clinical findings, treatment strategies, treatment complications and functional outcomes between the two groups.

resultsAge, sex, preoperative National Institutes of Health stroke scale, cerebral infarction subtypes and medical history did not significantly differ. In contrast, preoperative diffusion-weighted imaging-Alberta Stroke Program early computed tomography scores were 9 (1-11) and 6.5 (0-11) for the carotid non-T occlusion and carotid T occlusion groups, respectively (

conclusionPatients with carotid non-T occlusion more frequently had a background of intracranial internal carotid artery stenosis or arterial dissection than patients with carotid T occlusion. Specific treatment strategies should be developed to improve the clinical outcomes of patients with carotid non-T occlusion.
