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

Physiological effects of spreading depolarizations (SD) are only well studied in the first hours after experimental stroke. In patients with malignant hemispheric stroke (MHS), monitoring of SDs is restricted to the postoperative ICU stay, typically day 2-7 post-ictus. Therefore, we investigated the role of physiological variables (temperature, intracranial pressure, mean arterial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure) in relationship to SD during the late phase after MHS in humans. Additionally, an experimental stroke model was used to investigate hemodynamic consequences of SD during this time window. In 60 patients with MHS, the occurrence of 1692 SDs was preceded by a decrease in mean arterial pressure (-1.04 mmHg; p = .02) and cerebral perfusion pressure (-1.04 mmHg; p = .03). Twenty-four hours after middle cerebral artery occlusion in 50 C57Bl6/J mice, hypothermia led to prolonged SD-induced hyperperfusion (+2.8 min; p < .05) whereas hypertension mitigated initial hypoperfusion (-1.4 min and +18.5%Δ rCBF; p < .01). MRI revealed that SDs elicited 24 hours after experimental stroke were associated with lesion progression (15.9 vs. 14.8 mm³; p < .01). These findings of small but significant effects of physiological variables on SDs in the late phase after ischemia support the hypothesis that the impact of SDs may be modified by adjusting physiological variables.
