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

Introduction: The aim of our study was to determine whether the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic affected the quality of acute care of stroke. Methods: Data from the stroke register at the National Health Information Centre were analysed. Clinical data from two time periods (the first wave: March-April 2020; the second wave: October-November 2020) were compared using an independent sample Results: The total number of patients admitted with stroke during the second wave of COVID-19 was 1848, versus 1698 in the first wave. The proportion of patients treated by IVT was similar in both waves (275 (20.7%) vs 333 (22.1%), Conclusion: The severity of the COVID-19 outbreak did not affect the quality of acute stroke care in Slovakia.
