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

backgroundDelayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy is a rare entity following hypoxia. Clinical and radiological signs of delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy have not previously been reported following acute ischemic stroke. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of an 81-year-old Central European man who presented with a dissection-related occlusion of the left carotid artery. He showed clinical improvement immediately after endovascular stroke therapy, followed by a significant clinical and especially cognitive deterioration thereafter and a clinical recovery after several weeks. The clinical course of the patient was accompanied by morphological changes on magnetic resonance imaging characteristic of delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy; that is, strictly limited and localized unilaterally to the left anterior circulation.

conclusionThis case demonstrates that clinical symptoms and morphological changes on magnetic resonance imaging compatible with delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy do not necessarily only occur with global hypoxia, but can also occur in patients with a large vessel occlusion in the corresponding vascular territories.
