7-Day National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale as a surrogate marker predicting ischemic stroke patients' outcome following endovascular therapy.

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.
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
Background: Early neurological deterioration after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is associated with poor prognosis. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score measured at 24 h after EVT may be a better outcome predictor than other methods that focus on changes in NIHSS. Nevertheless, clinical fluctuations in ischemic stroke patients during the immediate phase after symptoms onset are well recognized. Therefore, a delayed NIHSS evaluation may improve prognostic accuracy. We evaluate the 7-day NIHSS in predicting long-term patient outcomes after EVT. Methods: This was a multi-center retrospective cohort study of 300 consecutive ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion who underwent EVT at three-stroke centers in China from August 2018 to March 2022. NIHSS was recorded on admission, pre-EVT, 24 h, and 7 days after EVT. Results: A total of 236 eligible patients were subdivided into two groups: 7-day NIHSS ≤6 and NIHSS >6 post-EVT. 88.29% achieved a favorable outcome (modified Rankin Scale 0-2) in the NIHSS ≤6 group compared to 15.20% in the NIHSS >6 group at 90 days, and an improved favorable outcome in the former group was observed after adjusting for potential confounding factors (adjusted odds ratio 39.7, 95% confidence interval, 17.5-89.7, Conclusion: The 7-day NIHSS score may be a reliable predictor of 90-day stroke patient outcome after EVT.
