Article in Cerebrovascular diseases extra, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05678816 (Effect Of Breather On Pulmonary And Physical Function In Post Stroke Survivors), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 papers.

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.

Abstract

Egypt, a low-middle-income country, is the most populated nation in the Middle East with a high overall crude prevalence rate of stroke (963/100,000 inhabitants), accounting for 6.4% of all deaths. In this article, we discuss how, through a corrective plan, we could change the landscape of stroke services in Egypt, in a relatively short time, raising thrombolysis rate from <1% to 12.3%, with shortening of door-to-needle time. We could build a database that now exceeds 5,000 patients, our centers received international accreditation and several awards, and we developed tele-stroke service.
