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

backgroundDeBakey type I aortic dissection is one of the rare etiologies of ischemic stroke. It is critical to identify arterial dissection before intravenous thrombolysis; otherwise, fatal hemorrhage may occur. CASE SUMMARY: In this report, we described 2 painless DeBakey type I aortic dissection cases with initial symptoms similar to ischemic stroke. Sudden onset of conscious disturbance and limb weakness within minutes occurred in both cases. Hypotension was found in both cases. Thoracoabdominal computed tomography angiography was urgently performed due to unknown reason hypotension, and DeBakey type I aortic dissection was confirmed. Intravenous thrombolysis was avoided because of timely diagnosis; however, they both eventually died of ruptured aortic dissection.

conclusionAortic dissection should always be excluded in ischemic stroke patients with unexplained hypotension or shock symptoms before intravenous thrombolytic therapy.
