Acute StrokeTreatment in Children: Are Adult Guidelines Applicable?
Article in Current treatment options in neurology, 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
Purpose of this Review: This article provides an overview into acute treatments in stroke which are widely studied and available for adults and their applicability in the pediatric population. Recent Findings: Arterial ischemic stroke is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population. Neurological deficits and etiologies are age-dependent and more challenging to diagnose than in the adult population. Advancements in imaging and treatment modalities including increased treatment windows in acute stroke have led to improvement in the diagnosis and management of pediatric arterial ischemic disease. Accordingly, hyperacute treatments, such as endovascular therapy, are becoming increasingly available in an attempt to improve outcomes in children. Summary: Significant scientific and technological advances have transformed the hyperacute treatment of stroke in the recent years, allowing for improvement in the diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular pathologies in children. Optimization in the approach, and validation of existing stroke pathways/protocols is expected to further advance acute stroke therapy in pediatric patient care. Given that the lifelong individual, family, and societal burden of acute stroke is likely to be greater than in adults because infants and children surviving stroke live more years with disability, we must be knowledgeable about this pathology and the medical and therapeutic options available for this unique population as detailed in this review.
