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

Purpose: The aim of this article is to outline the impact of COVID-19 on the frequency of occurrence, course of stroke treatment, and to highlight the cause-effect relationship between SARS-CoV-2 infection and stroke on the basis of a literature overview. Views: Since the end of 2019, the whole world has been struggling with the effects of the pandemic caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The virus induces a wide spectrum of symptoms, ranging from mild or serious ones, which may lead to a severe multiorgan failure. Acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) might be associated with COVID-19 as a potentially fatal complication, while hemorrhagic stroke is less frequent. In most cases, stroke is caused by large artery occlusion. One of its reasons is hypercoagulation with a complex mechanism, which has not been fully explained. Research has shown that during COVID-19 pandemic, the number of patients admitted to hospitals due to AIS decreased. During the first pandemic wave there was no change regarding the proportion of patients with cerebral vessel obstruction who received endovascular treatment. Conclusions: In the COVID-19 pandemic era, rapid intravenous administration of tissue plasminogen activator remains the main treatment for acute ischaemic stroke. Patients often fail to report to hospital for the fear of SARS-CoV-2 infection. It is of the utmost importance to raise society's awareness of the necessity to report to hospital when experiencing serious symptoms, including stroke.
