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

Cerebral oedema following acute ischemic infarction has been correlated with poor functional outcomes and is the driving mechanism of malignant infarction. Measurements of midline shift and qualitative assessment for herniation are currently the main CT indicators for cerebral oedema but have limited sensitivity for small cortical infarcts and are typically a delayed sign. In contrast, diffusion-weighted (DWI) or T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are highly sensitive but are significantly less accessible. Due to the need for early quantification of cerebral oedema, several novel imaging biomarkers have been proposed. Based on neuroanatomical shift secondary to space-occupying oedema, measures such as relative hemispheric volume and cerebrospinal fluid displacement are correlated with poor outcomes. In contrast, other imaging biometrics, such as net water uptake, T2 relaxometry and blood brain barrier permeability, reflect intrinsic tissue changes from the influx of fluid into the ischemic region. This review aims to discuss quantification of cerebral oedema using current and developing advanced imaging techniques, and their role in predicting clinical outcomes.
