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

Objectives: The benefit of mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke is highly time dependent. However, time to treatment is longer for in-hospital stroke patients than community-onset stroke patients. This study aimed to clarify the cause of this difference. Methods: A retrospective single-center study was performed to analyze patients with large vessel occlusion who underwent mechanical thrombectomy between January 2017 and December 2019. Patients were divided into in-hospital stroke and community-onset stroke groups. Clinical characteristics and treatment time intervals were compared between groups. Results: One hundred four patients were analyzed: 17 with in-hospital stroke and 87 with community-onset stroke. Patient characteristics did not significantly differ between groups. Median door (stroke recognition)-to-computed tomography time (36 min vs. 14 min, P<0.01) and door-to-puncture time (135 min vs. 117 min, P=0.02) were significantly longer in the in-hospital stroke group than the community-onset stroke group. However, median computed tomography-to-puncture time (104 min vs. 104 min, P=0.47) and puncture-to-reperfusion time (53 min vs. 38 min, P=0.17) did not significantly differ. Conclusions: Longer door-to-puncture time in in-hospital stroke patients was mostly caused by longer door-to-computed tomography time, which is the initial part of the workflow. An in-hospital stroke protocol that places importance on early stroke specialist consultation and prompt transportation to the computed tomography scanner might hasten treatment and improve outcomes in patients with in-hospital stroke.
