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

Introduction: Armenia is an upper-middle-income country with a population of nearly 3 million. Stroke is one of its major public health problems and ranks as the sixth leading cause of death, with a mortality of 75.5 per 100,000. Methods and results: Until recently, modern stroke care was not available in Armenia. During the past 8 years substantial advances have been made in building medical infrastructure and delivering acute stroke care. This manuscript describes contributors to this progress, including extensive and long-term collaboration with international stroke experts, the development of hospital-based stroke teams, and a funding commitment for stroke care by the government. Conclusion: The results of acute stroke revascularization procedures during the past 3 years are reviewed and found to meet international standards. Future directions are discussed including the immediate need to expand acute stroke care to underserved parts of the country by adding primary and comprehensive stroke centers. An active educational program for nurses and physicians and the TeleStroke system development will help support this expansion.
