Identification of successful cerebral reperfusions (mTICI ≥2b) using an artificial intelligence strategy.
Article in Neuroradiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (mTICI) scale is a widely used and validated qualitative tool to evaluate angiographic intracerebral inflow following endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). We validated a machine-learning (ML) algorithm to grade digital subtraction angiograms (DSA) using the mTICI scale. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe included angiograms of identified middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusions who underwent EVT. The complete DSA sequences were preprocessed and normalized. We created three convolutional neural networks to classify DSA into two outcomes, low- (mTICI 0,1,2a) and high-grade (mTICI 2b,2c,3).
resultsWe included a total of 234 angiograms in this study. The area under the receiver operating characteristic was 0.863 (95% CI 0.816-0.909), 0.914 (95% CI 0.876-0.951), and 0.890 (95% CI 0.848-0.932) for the anteroposterior (AP), lateral (L), and combined models, respectively, when dichotomizing outcomes into low and high grade. The models' area under the precision-recall curve was 0.879 (95% CI 0.829-0.930), 0.906 (95% CI 0.844-0.968), and 0.887 (95% CI 0.834-0.941) for the AP, L, and combined models.
conclusionIn complete cerebral DSA, our angiography-based ML strategy was able to predict mTICI scores following EVT rapidly and reliably for MCA occlusions.
