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

This study aimed to quantitatively assess the consistency and correlation between perfusion weighted imaging (PWI)/ diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) mismatch and PWI/DWI mismatch.Sixty-eight acute ischemic stroke with middle cerebral artery occlusion who underwent magnetic resonance imaging before thrombectomy were eligible. DWI volume, PWI volume and PWI-DWI mismatch were measured. DWI-, PWI-, PWI-DWI ASPECTS were evaluated. Statistical analysis was performed to compare the correlation between volume and ASPECTS of DWI-, PWI- and PWI-DWI mismatch. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to assess the predictive value of the PWI-DWI ASPECTS mismatch for the occurrence of PWI-DWI mismatch in acute ischemic stroke patients with middle cerebral artery occlusion.Of 68 patients, the DWI volume, PWI volume and PWI-DWI mismatch volume were (27.76 ± 17.53) mL, (167.09 ± 59.64) mL and (139.33 ± 58.18) mL respectively. DWI-ASPECTS was 6.75 ± 1.90 with the interobserver agreement was κ=0.98 (95% CI, 0.95-0.99); PWI-ASPECTS was 3.09 ± 2.11 with the interobserver agreement was κ=0.95 (95% CI, 0.91-0.99); PWI-DWI ASPECTS mismatch was 6.75 ± 1.90. Spearman's rank correlation analysis revealed that PWI-DWI mismatch volume was negatively correlated with PWI-DWI ASPECTS mismatch (r = -0.802; P = .000). Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that when the PWI-DWI ASPECTS mismatch cut point was ≥ 2, the under curve of PWI-DWI ASPECTS mismatch for predicting PWI-DWI mismatch was 0.954 (95%CI, 0.911-0.998), with the sensitivity and specificity were 84.00% and 100% respectively.PWI-DWI ASPECTS mismatch may represent a convenient surrogate for penumbra in clinical trials.
