Therapeutic-induced hypertension in patients with noncardioembolic acute stroke.
Trial report in Neurology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01600235 (Safety and Efficacy of Therapeutic Induced Hypertension in Patients With Acute Non-cardioembolic Ischemic Stroke), which is not on this map. Cited by 47 papers, 3 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.

Abstract
objectiveTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of induced hypertension in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
methodsIn this multicenter randomized clinical trial, patients with acute noncardioembolic ischemic stroke within 24 hours of onset who were ineligible for revascularization therapy and those with progressive stroke during hospitalization were randomly assigned (1:1) to the control and intervention groups. In the intervention group, phenylephrine was administered intravenously to increase systolic blood pressure (SBP) up to 200 mm Hg. The primary efficacy endpoint was early neurologic improvement (reduction in NIH Stroke Scale [NIHSS] score of ≥2 points during the first 7 days). The secondary efficacy endpoint was a modified Rankin Scale score of 0 to 2 at 90 days. Safety outcomes included symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage/edema, myocardial infarction, and death.
resultsIn the modified intention-to-treat analyses, 76 and 77 patients were included in the intervention and control groups, respectively. After adjustment for age and initial stroke severity, induced hypertension increased the occurrence of the primary (odds ratio 2.49, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.25-4.96,
conclusionAmong patients with noncardioembolic stroke who were ineligible for revascularization therapy and those with progressive stroke, phenylephrine-induced hypertension was safe and resulted in early neurologic improvement and long-term functional independence. CLINICALTRIALSGOV IDENTIFIER: NCT01600235. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE: This study provides Class III evidence that for patients with acute ischemic stroke, therapeutic-induced hypertension increases the probability of early neurologic improvement.
