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

purposeAssessing clot composition on prethrombectomy computed tomography (CT) imaging may help in stroke treatment planning. In this study we seek to use microCT imaging of fabricated blood clots to understand the relationship between CT radiographic signals and the biological makeup.

methodsClots (n = 10) retrieved by mechanical thrombectomy (MT) were collected, and 6 clot analogs of varying RBC composition were made. We performed paired microCT and histological image analysis of all 16 clots using a ScanCo microCT 100 (4.9 µm resolution) and standard H&E staining (imaged at 40×). From these data types, first order statistic (FOS) radiomics were computed from microCT, and percent composition of RBCs (%RBC) was computed from histology. Polynomial and linear regression (LR) were used to build statistical models based on retrieved thrombus microCT and %RBC that were evaluated for their ability to predict the %RBC of clot analogs from mean HU. Correlation analyses of microCT FOS with composition were completed for both retrieved clots and analogs.

resultsThe LR model fits relating MT-retrieved clot %RBC with mean (R

conclusionMicroCT can be used to build models that predict AIS clot composition from routine CT parameters and help us to better understand radiomic signatures associated with clot composition and first pass outcomes. In future work, such observations can be used to better infer clot composition and inform thrombectomy prognostics from pretreatment CTs.
