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

objectiveTo explore the MRI T2 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) vascular hyperintensities (FVH) combined with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) in predicting the prognosis of acute cerebral infarction (ACI) with endovascular treatment.

methodsThe patients with ACI in the anterior circulation who underwent endovascular treatment from June 2016 to December 2020 were divided into a good prognosis group and a poor prognosis group according to the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 90 days after the operation. The differences in general clinical baseline data, CT-ASPECTS, FVH, and DWI-ASPECTS between the two groups were analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive power of prediction models on prognosis.

resultsThe results of the Binomial Logistic regression equation showed initial National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS), Mori grade, DWI-ASPECTS, and FVH were independent risk factors for prognosis. The predictive power of the FVH + DWI-ASPECTS prediction model was highest, and the predictive power of DWI-ASPECTS was higher than that of CT-ASPECTS.

conclusionDWI-ASPECTS is better than CT-ASPECTS in predicting the prognosis of ACI with endovascular treatment, and the combined prediction model of FVH and DWI-ASPECTS has higher prediction performance, which can be used as a preoperative evaluation method to predict the effect of endovascular treatment for ACI.
