Optimizing Time Management for Drip-and-Ship Stroke Patients Qualifying for Endovascular Therapy-A Single-Network Study.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundWe sought to identify factors for delayed drip-and-ship (DS) management in stroke patients transferred from primary hospitals to our comprehensive stroke center (CSC) for endovascular therapy (EVT).
methodsWe conducted a retrospective study of all patients transferred to our CSC for EVT between 2016 and 2020. We analyzed emergency and hospital records to assess DS process times and factors predictive of delays. We dichotomized the admission period to 2016−2017 and 2018−2020 according to the main process optimization, including the introduction of a prenotification call.
resultsWe included 869 DS patients (median age 76 years (IQR 65−82), NIHSS 16 (IQR 11−21), 278 min (IQR 243−335) from onset to EVT); 566 were transferred in 2018−2020. Admission in 2016−2017, during on-call, longer tranfer distance, and general anesthesia were factors independently associated with delayed onset to EVT time (F(5, 352) = 14.76, p < 0.000). Other factors associated with delayed DS management were: transfer mode, primary hospital type, site of large-vessel occlusion, and intravenous thrombolysis. Total transfer time was faster for distances <50 km by ambulance and for distances >71 km by helicopter.
conclusionAssessment of DS processes and times throughout the patient pathway allows identification of potentially modifiable factors for improvement of the very time-critical workflow for stroke patients.
