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/

objectiveVarious strategies have been implemented to reduce acute stroke treatment times. Recent studies have shown a significant benefit of acute endovascular therapy. The JFK Comprehensive Stroke Center instituted Code Neurointervention (NI) on May 1, 2014 for the purpose of rapidly assembling the NI team and rapidly providing acute endovascular therapy. DESIGN/

methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of all patients who had Code NI (Code NI group) called from May 1, 2014 to July 30, 2018 and compared them to patients who underwent acute endovascular treatment prior to initiation of the code (pre-Code NI group) between January 2012 and April 30, 2014. The following parameters were compared: door to puncture (DTP) and door to recanalization (DTR) times, as well as preprocedure NIHSS, 24-hour postprocedure NIHSS, and 90-day modified Rankin scores.

resultsThere were 67 pre-Code NI patients compared to 193 Code NI patients. Mean and median DTP times for pre-code NI vs Code NI patients were 161 minutes(mins) vs 115mins (p<0.0001, 31.76-58.86) and 153mins vs 112mins (

conclusionInstitution of Code NI significantly improved DTP and DTR times as well as mRS at 3-months postprocedure. Rapid assembly of the NI team, rapid availability of imaging and angiography suite, and streamlining of processes, likely contribute to these differences. These lessons and more widespread institution of such codes will further aid in improving acute stroke care for patients.
