Magnetic Resonance Angiography and Cisternography fused images in acute ischemic stroke may save time during endovascular procedure revealing vessel anatomy.

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
Background and purpose: Endovascular treatment (EVT) is a time-dependent procedure that aims to remove the arterial blood flow obstruction in brain vessels in acute ischemic stroke. In our center, the MRI patient selection protocol in acute ischemic stroke is performed with DWI, FLAIR, MR angiography (MRA) and MR cisternography (MRC) sequences. MRA and MRC are promptly and automatically fused in order to have a clear detection of vessel anatomy, before and during EVT.Our study aim is to evaluate if the fusion process between MRA and MRC could be considered time-safe and could influence EVT duration or outcome. Materials and methods: 45 patients were retrospectively selected for the study and divided into 2 groups according to the presence of MRC sequence fused with MRA (Group 1) or not (Group 2 - controls). Results: MRA and MRC fusion was able to depict vessel anatomy in all subjects of Group 1 (22 patients, 12 females; age 75.59 years ± 10.87). Group 1 presented EVT time reduction ( Conclusion: Fusion of MRA and MRC is a safe and promising technique in promptly revealing vascular anatomy beyond vessel obstruction, and can play a role in EVT duration reduction.
