Radiology workload in clinical implementation of thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke: experience from The Netherlands.
Article in Neuroradiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo investigate the number of acute stroke patients undergoing CT angiography (CTA) for suspected large vessel occlusion (LVO) and those eligible for thrombectomy in relation to the population.
methodsConsecutive patients in a Western population who underwent CTA for suspected LVO of the proximal anterior circulation between January and August 2019 were included. The date and time of CTA and the number of patients eligible for thrombectomy were assessed. Our hospital's service area population was estimated using the Central Bureau for Statistics data. One-way analysis of variance with post-hoc tests and chi-squared tests were used for statistical analyses.
resultsOf 520 patients (49% males, mean age of 72 years) undergoing CTA, 84 (16.2%) were eligible for thrombectomy. Our hospital's service area population was estimated at 420,000. Therefore, 3.6 CTA scans were performed and 0.6 patients were eligible for thrombectomy per 100,000 people per week. The number of patients undergoing CTA and the number of patients eligible for thrombectomy both did not significantly differ between any days of the week (P > 0.05). A total of 236 (45%) and 284 patients (55%) underwent CTA during office and on-call hours, respectively. The percentage of patients eligible for thrombectomy did not significantly differ between office and on-call hours (P = 0.834).
conclusionOur study estimated the number of stroke patients undergoing CTA for suspected LVO and those eligible for thrombectomy in relation to the population. Numbers were essentially the same throughout the week, and during office and on-call hours. Our data can be used to make adequate staffing plans.
