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

backgroundAcute ischemic stroke leads to serious long-term disability and high mortality, especially in patients with large-vessel occlusive strokes. Nowadays, endovascular therapy is considered as an alternative treatment for these patients. Several studies have used thrombus characteristics based on non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) and computed tomography angiography (CTA) to predict prognosis in ischemic stroke. We conducted a systematic review to identify potential imaging predictive factors for successful recanalization and improved clinical outcome after endovascular therapy in patients with large-vessel occlusion (LVO) in anterior arterial circulation.

methodsThe PubMed databases were searched for related studies reported between September 18, 2009, and September 18, 2019.

resultsWe selected 11 studies on revascularization and 12 studies on clinical outcome. Patients with thrombus of higher Hounsfield unit (HU), shorter length, higher clot burden score, and increased thrombus permeability may achieve higher recanalization and improved clinical outcome, but the matter is still under debate.

conclusionImaging of thrombus can be used as an aseessment tool to predict the outcomes and it needs further studies in the future.
