Association of Perfusion Lesion Variables With Functional Outcome in Patients With Mild Stroke and Large Vessel Occlusion Managed Medically.
Article in Neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThe best management of patients with mild stroke and large vessel occlusion (LVO) remains unclear. This study aimed to identify perfusion imaging predictors of poor functional outcome in such patients.
methodsThis cohort study retrospectively selected patients enrolled in the International Stroke Perfusion Imaging Registry between August 2011 and April 2022. The registry enrolled patients with acute ischemic stroke and with baseline CT perfusion scanned within 24 hours of stroke onset. This study identified patients with mild symptoms, defined by an NIH Stroke Scale score of ≤5. Patients with LVO of anterior circulation were selected. This study further selected patients who received medical management and excluded patients who received endovascular treatment. The primary outcome was poor functional outcome defined as a modified Rankin Scale of 3-6 at 3 months. Perfusion lesion was defined by delay time > 3 seconds on CTP. Regression analyses were used to identify clinical and imaging variables that predicted poor functional outcome.
resultsA total of 139 patients with mild stroke were included, of whom 27 (19%) had poor functional outcome. Patients with poor outcome, compared with those with good outcome, had much larger perfusion lesion volume (median 80 mL vs 41 mL, DISCUSSION: A perfusion lesion of ≥65 mL predicted poor functional outcome in mild stroke patients with LVO.
