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

backgroundMachine learning algorithms hold the potential to contribute to fast and accurate detection of large vessel occlusion (LVO) in patients with suspected acute ischemic stroke. We assessed the diagnostic performance of an automated LVO detection algorithm on CT angiography (CTA).

methodsData from the MR CLEAN Registry and PRESTO were used including patients with and without LVO. CTA data were analyzed by the algorithm for detection and localization of LVO (intracranial internal carotid artery (ICA)/ICA terminus (ICA-T), M1, or M2). Assessments done by expert neuroradiologists were used as reference. Diagnostic performance was assessed for detection of LVO and per occlusion location by means of sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC).

resultsWe analyzed CTAs of 1110 patients from the MR CLEAN Registry (median age (IQR) 71 years (60-80); 584 men; 1110 with LVO) and of 646 patients from PRESTO (median age (IQR) 73 years (62-82); 358 men; 141 with and 505 without LVO). For detection of LVO, the algorithm yielded a sensitivity of 89% in the MR CLEAN Registry and a sensitivity of 72%, specificity of 78%, and AUC of 0.75 in PRESTO. Sensitivity per occlusion location was 88% for ICA/ICA-T, 94% for M1, and 72% for M2 occlusion in the MR CLEAN Registry, and 80% for ICA/ICA-T, 95% for M1, and 49% for M2 occlusion in PRESTO.

conclusionThe algorithm provided a high detection rate for proximal LVO, but performance varied significantly by occlusion location. Detection of M2 occlusion needs further improvement.
