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

background and purposeThere are sparse data on the microstructural integrity of salvaged penumbral tissue after mechanical thrombectomy of large-vessel occlusions. The aim of the study was to analyze possible microstructural alteration in the penumbra and their association with clinical symptoms as well as angiographic reperfusion success in patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy. MATERIALS AND

methodsAll patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy for large-vessel occlusions in the anterior circulation and who received an admission CT perfusion together with postinterventional DTIs were included (

resultsThe mean diffusivity index was higher in completely recanalized patients (mTICI 3: -0.001 ± 0.034 versus mTICI <3: -0.030 ± 0.055,

conclusionsThe macroscopic salvaged penumbra included areas of microstructural integrity changes, most likely related to the initial hypoperfusion. These abnormalities were found early after mechanical thrombectomy, were dependent on angiographic results, and correlated with the clinical outcome. When confirmed, these findings prompt the evaluation of therapies for protection of the penumbral tissue integrity.
