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

backgroundCerebral edema (CED) is associated with poorer outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The aim of the study was to investigate the factors contributing to greater early CED formation in patients with AIS who underwent endovascular therapy (EVT) and its association with functional outcome.

methodsWe conducted a multicenter cohort study of patients with an anterior circulation AIS undergoing EVT. The volume of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was extracted from baseline and 24-hour follow-up CT using an automated algorithm. The severity of CED was quantified by the percentage reduction in CSF volume between CT scans (∆CSF). The primary endpoint was a shift towards an unfavorable outcome, assessed by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 3 months. Multivariable ordinal logistic regression analyses were performed. The ∆CSF threshold that predicted unfavorable outcome was selected using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.

resultsWe analyzed 201 patients (mean age 72.7 years, 47.8% women) in whom CED was assessable for 85.6%. Higher systolic blood pressure during EVT and failure to achieve modified Thrombolysis In Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) 3 were found to be independent predictors of greater CED. ∆CSF was independently associated with the probability of a one-point worsening in the mRS score (common odds ratio (cOR) 1.05, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.08) after adjusting for age, baseline mRS, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), and number of passes. Displacement of more than 25% of CSF was associated with an unfavorable outcome (OR 6.09, 95% CI 3.01 to 12.33) and mortality (OR 6.72, 95% CI 2.94 to 15.32).

conclusionsEarly CED formation in patients undergoing EVT was affected by higher blood pressure and incomplete reperfusion. The extent of early CED, measured by automated ∆CSF, was associated with worse outcomes.
