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

Fast and slow progressor phenotypes of infarct growth due to anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (ACLVO) remain poorly understood. We aimed to define clinical predictors of fast and slow progressors in a retrospective study of patients with ACLVO who underwent baseline advanced imaging within 24 hours of stroke onset. Fast progressors (ischemic core > 70 ml, < 6 hours after onset) and slow progressors (ischemic core ≤ 30 ml, 6 to 24 hours after onset) were identified amongst 185 patients. Clinical and laboratory variables were tested for association with fast or slow progressor status. In the early epoch, no significant differences were found between fast progressors and controls. In the delayed epoch, slow progressors had a median NIHSS of 14 versus 20 (p < 0.01) and MCA occlusion in 80% versus 63% (p < 0.05) relative to controls. In multivariate analyses, NIHSS (OR 0.83, 95% CI 0.73-0.95), hyperlipidemia (OR 4.24, 95% CI 1.01 - 19.3) and hemoglobin concentration (OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.57 - 0.99) were independently associated with slow progressor status. This study indicates that lower initial stroke symptom severity, a history of hyperlipidemia and mild anemia are associated with individual tolerance to ACLVO stroke.
