Mobile Stroke Unit Computed Tomography Angiography Substantially Shortens Door-to-Puncture Time.
Article in Stroke, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
Background and Purpose- Endovascular thrombectomy (ET) door-to-puncture time (DTPT) is a modifiable metric. One of the most important, yet time-consuming steps, is documentation of large vessel occlusion by computed tomography angiography (CTA). We hypothesized that obtaining CTA on board a Mobile Stroke Unit and direct alert of the ET team shortens DTPT by over 30 minutes. Methods- We compared DTPT between patients having CTA onboard the Mobile Stroke Unit then subsequent ET from September 2018 to November 2019 and patients in Mobile Stroke Unit from August 2014 to August 2018, when onboard CTA was not yet being used. We also correlated DTPT with change in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale between baseline and 24 hours. Results- Median DTPT was 53.5 (95% CI, 35-67) minutes shorter with onboard CTA and direct ET team notification: 41 minutes (interquartile range, 30.0-63.5) versus 94.5 minutes (interquartile range, 69.8-117.3;
