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

backgroundEarly neurological deterioration (END) is a potential predictor for 90-day outcomes following mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to better understand whether END can be used as a surrogate for long-term outcomes.

methodsFollowing the PRISMA guidelines, a systematic literature review of the English language literature was conducted using PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase. END definition was cataloged for each included study. Outcomes of interest included 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-2, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH), mortality, and thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (TICI) 2b-3. We calculated pooled odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) for all definitions of END.

resultsWe included seven studies with 2992 patients in our analysis. There was a significant, inverse association with END and mRS 0-2 rates (OR = 0.15; 95% CI = 0.08-0.29; P-value< 0.001). Moreover, END was a significant predictor of increased odds for reported sICH rates (OR = 16.37; 95% CI = 7.66-34.99; P-value< 0.001). Furthermore, there was a significant association between END and increase in mortality rates (OR = 6.79; 95% CI = 2.62-17.62; P-value< 0.001). There was no significant association between END and rates of TICI 2b-3 (OR = 0.53; 95% CI = 0.27-1.05; p = 0.069).

conclusionsBroadly defined, END holds value as a potential predictor of rates of mRS 0-2 at 90 days and is associated with higher rates of mortality and sICH, but had no correlation with TICI 2b-3.
