Multicentric validation of a reduced features case-mix set for predicting functional outcome after ischemic stroke in Belgium.

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
introductionIschemic stroke is the second cause of death and leading cause of severe disability worldwide. A reduced features set of CT-DRAGON (age, NIHSS on admission and pre-stroke mRS) predicts 90-day functional outcome after stroke in a single center. The current study was designed to validate this adapted CT-DRAGON score in three major Belgian hospitals, in the framework of future case-mix adjustment.
methodsThis retrospective study included stroke patients, treated by thrombolysis, thrombectomy, a combination of both or neither thrombolysis or thrombectomy (conservative treatment) in 2019. Patient characteristics and 90-day mRS were collected. Multivariable logistic regression analysis of 90-day mRS 0-2 vs. 3-6 and 0-5 vs. 6 with the reduced features set was performed. Discriminative performance was assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC).
resultsThirty-three percent of patients (413/1243) underwent treatment. Majority of strokes was treated conservatively (n = 830, 67%), 18% (n = 225) was treated by thrombolysis, 7% (n = 88) by thrombectomy and 8% (n = 100) by thrombolysis and thrombectomy. Age, NIHSS and pre-stroke mRS were independently associated with 90-day mRS 0-2 (all p ≤ 0.0001, AUROC 0.88). When treatment modality was added in the model, age, NIHSS, pre-stroke mRS and treatment modality were independently associated with 90-day mRS 0-2 (p < 0.0001, p < 0.0001, p < 0.0001 and p = 0.0001) AUROC 0.89). Age, NIHSS, pre-stroke mRS and treatment modality were independently associated with 90-day survival (p = 0.0001, p < 0.0001, p < 0.0001 and p = 0.008, AUROC 0.86). DISCUSSION: The reduced features set (age, NIHSS and pre-mRS) was independently associated with long-term functional outcome in a Belgian multicentric cohort, making it useful for case-mix adjustments in Belgian stroke centers. Treatment modality was associated with long-term outcome.
