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 The purpose of this study was to determine whether the presence of antegrade blood flow was related to stroke subtype in patients with acute intracranial large artery occlusion. Methods and Results The prospectively collected data for consecutive patients who had occlusion of the unilateral M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery with or without internal carotid artery and received reperfusion therapy were retrospectively reviewed. Stroke causes were determined according to the Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment standard. We defined antegrade flow as early opacification at the distal interface of the clot with subsequent distal extension on 4-dimensional computed tomography angiography. A total of 387 large artery occlusion patients were analyzed (229 men and 158 women; mean age, 71±14 years), including 77 (19.9%) with large artery atherosclerosis (LAA), 206 (53.2%) with cardioembolism, and 104 (26.9%) with undetermined causes. Antegrade flow was found in 206 (53.2%) patients, and 181 (46.8%) presented with retrograde flow. The rate of antegrade flow was much higher in patients with LAA than in those with cardioembolism (85.7% versus 42.2%,
