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

purposePatients with minor stroke (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score ≤5) and large vessel occlusion (LVO) often experience neurological deterioration >24 hours after onset. However, the efficacy of endovascular reperfusion therapy in these patients remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of reperfusion therapy in patients with minor stroke and neurological deterioration >24 hours after onset. MATERIALS AND

methodsData were retrospectively reviewed from patients between January 2019 and April 2022 who met the following criteria: (1) minor stroke and small definitive ischemic lesions at initial visit, (2) onset to neurological deterioration >24 hours, (3) cortical signs, Alberta Stroke Program Early computed tomography (CT) Score >6 points, and large artery occlusion confirmed by CT angiography at neurological deterioration. Efficacy and safety outcomes were based on final thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (TICI), incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), and mortality. Outcomes were assessed using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 3 months. Good outcome was defined as a mRS of 0, 1, or 2.

resultsData from 26 patients (38.4% female, mean age 75.8 years) were analyzed; 18 (69.2%) had a good outcome. A final TICI of 2b or 3 was observed in 24 (92.3%) patients. No other adverse events, including dissection, vasospasm or distal embolization, were observed during the procedures. Hemorrhagic events occurred in 8 patients after the procedure; however, there were no symptomatic ICHs. Good prognostic factors were younger age (P=0.062) and carotid stenting (P=0.025).

conclusionEndovascular reperfusion therapy performed in selected patients with minor stroke, LVO, and neurological deterioration >24 hours after stroke onset demonstrated favorable outcomes and safety.
