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

Collateral scoring plays an important role in diagnosis and treatment decisions of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Most existing automated methods rely on vessel prominence and amount after vessel segmentation. The purpose of this study was to design a vessel-segmentation free method for automating collateral scoring on CT angiography (CTA). We first processed the original CTA via maximum intensity projection (MIP) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) region segmentation. The obtained MIP images were fed into our proposed hybrid CNN and Transformer model (MPViT) to automatically determine the collateral scores. We collected 154 CTA scans of patients with AIS for evaluation using five-folder cross validation. Results show that the proposed MPViT achieved an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.767 (95% CI: 0.68-0.83) and a Kappa of 0.6184 (95% CI: 0.4954-0.7414) for three-point collateral score classification. For dichotomized classification (good vs. non-good and poor vs. non-poor), it also achieved great performance.
