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

Differentiating stroke from stroke mimics is a diagnostic challenge in every day practice. Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) is an important stroke mimic with nonspecific symptomatology, making prompt and accurate diagnosis challenging. Baseline neuroimaging plays a pivotal role in detection and differentiation of stroke from many common mimics and is thus critical in guiding appropriate management. In particular, MR perfusion (MRP) imaging modalities provide added value through detection and quantification of multiple physiological parameters. Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) is a non-contrast, noninvasive MRP technique increasingly used in clinical practice; however, there is limited description of ASL in PRES in the existing literature. In this single center retrospective pilot study, we investigate the added value of ASL in detecting PRES in the largest series to date. We hope this study can serve as the basis for larger scale investigations exploring the utility of ASL in detecting stroke mimics such as PRES for accurate and efficient management of such patients.
