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

introductionAcute cerebral infarction is a clinically common cerebrovascular disease. Acute cerebral infarction is characterized by sudden onset, dangerous illness, high risk of death, and disability. Computed tomography perfusion imaging can detect abnormal brain tissue perfusion 30 minutes after the onset of cerebral ischemia, providing the earliest and most valuable information for clinical diagnosis and treatment. In recent years, the effect of traditional Chinese medicine on acute cerebral infarction has been remarkable. METHODS/

designThis study plan randomly divided eligible acute cerebral infarction patients into two groups. Patients in the control group will be treated with conventional Western medicine; patients in the intervention group will be treated with traditional Chinese medicine cooperative therapy on the basis of conventional Western medicine. The curative effects will be selected before treatment, 2 weeks after treatment, and 3 months follow-up. The changes in CT imaging evaluation, NIHSS score, and BI index of the two groups of patients will be observed. DISCUSSION: We aim to provide higher evidence-based medical evidence for traditional Chinese medicine treatment of acute cerebral infarction. And clarify the application value of computed tomography perfusion imaging in the diagnosis and efficacy evaluation of acute cerebral infarction.
