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

purposeTo analyze the characteristics of hyperdense lesions on brain CT conducted immediately after arterial revascularization (AR) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), track the outcome of those lesions and investigate their clinical significance. MATERIALS AND

methods97 AIS patients were enrolled in our study. Among them, 52 patients showed hyperdense lesions and were divided into three categories: type I, type II and type III according to the morphologic characteristics of hyperdense lesions. All patients underwent several follow-up CT/MR examinations to visualize the outcomes of the lesions.

resultsAmong the 52 patients, 22 showed contrast extravasation, 23 displayed contrast extravasation combined with hemorrhagic transformation (HT) and 7 confirmed symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SICH) in follow-up CT/MR. Among the without hyperdense lesions group, only 7 converted to hemorrhage, and no SICH occurred. All type I lesions showed contrast extravasation; 23 type II lesions turned to hemorrhage, 2 revealed SICH and 6 were pure contrast extravasation; all of the type III developed into SICH.

conclusionHyperdense lesions on non-enhanced brain CT obtained immediately after arterial revascularization (AR) exhibited varying features. Type I indicated a pure contrast extravasation. Type II and type III hyperdense lesions suggested higher incidence of HT, the presence of type III lesions indicated an ominous outcome.
