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

We present an ischemic stroke study using our newly-developed PAUSAT system that integrates photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT), high-frequency ultrasound imaging, and acoustic angiographic tomography. PAUSAT is capable of three-dimensional (3D) imaging of the brain morphology, blood perfusion, and blood oxygenation. Using PAUSAT, we studied the hemodynamic changes in the whole mouse brain induced by two common ischemic stroke models: the permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) model and the photothrombotic (PT) model. We imaged the same mouse brains before and after stroke, and quantitatively compared the two stroke models. We observed clear hemodynamic changes after ischemic stroke, including reduced blood perfusion and oxygenation. Such changes were spatially heterogenous. We also quantified the tissue infarct volume in both stroke models. The PAUSAT measurements were validated by laser speckle imaging and histology. Our results have collectively demonstrated that PAUSAT can be a valuable tool for non-invasive longitudinal studies of neurological diseases at the whole-brain scale.
