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

In acute ischemic stroke due to large-vessel occlusion (LVO), the clinical outcome after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is influenced by the extent of autoregulatory hemodynamic impairment, which can be derived from blood oxygenation level-dependent cerebrovascular reactivity (BOLD-CVR). BOLD-CVR imaging identifies brain areas influenced by hemodynamic steal. We sought to investigate the presence of steal phenomenon and its relationship to DWI lesions and clinical deficit in the acute phase of ischemic stroke following successful vessel recanalization.From the prospective longitudinal IMPreST (Interplay of Microcirculation and Plasticity after ischemic Stroke) cohort study, patients with acute ischemic unilateral LVO stroke of the anterior circulation with successful endovascular thrombectomy (EVT; mTICI scale ≥ 2b) and subsequent BOLD-CVR examination were included for this analysis. We analyzed the spatial correlation between brain areas exhibiting BOLD-CVR-associated steal phenomenon and DWI infarct lesion as well as the relationship between steal phenomenon and NIHSS score at hospital discharge.Included patients (n = 21) exhibited steal phenomenon to different extents, whereas there was only a partial spatial overlap with the DWI lesion (median 19%; IQR, 8-59). The volume of steal phenomenon outside the DWI lesion showed a positive correlation with overall DWI lesion volume and was a significant predictor for the NIHSS score at hospital discharge.Patients with acute ischemic unilateral LVO stroke exhibited hemodynamic steal identified by BOLD-CVR after successful EVT. Steal volume was associated with DWI infarct lesion size and with poor clinical outcome at hospital discharge. BOLD-CVR may further aid in better understanding persisting hemodynamic impairment following reperfusion therapy.
