Patterns of Acute Ischemic Stroke Treatment from 2010 to 2020: An Evolving Landscape in Stroke Management Following Thrombectomy Trials.
Article in Neurology. Clinical practice, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 and Objectives: Population-based studies on stroke can help guide the care of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) by providing health care communities with information regarding the current usage of stroke treatments. It remains unclear how rapidly new techniques, particularly endovascular stroke treatment (EST), are being adopted and whether there is any disparity in their availability. Although studies using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) have been conducted, updated studies over a longer period may provide further insights. This study aimed to understand patterns of AIS treatment, discharge disposition, in-hospital mortality, and mean length of stay (LOS) for each modality from 2010 to 2020 using the NIS database. Methods: This retrospective longitudinal study was conducted using NIS data from 2010 to 2020. Patients were categorized into groups based on whether they received intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA), EST, both rt-PA and EST (combined therapy), or supportive care alone. Demographic, socioeconomic, regional, insurance, and hospital data were also obtained. The primary outcome was the proportion of patients receiving each modality, whereas the secondary outcomes were in-hospital mortality, mean LOS, and discharge disposition. Results: The usage rates increased ( Discussion: Our study demonstrated that endovascular stroke treatment continues to expand, leading to better outcomes for mortality, LOS, and home discharge. Despite these positive patterns, there are visible inequities across regions, income status, and races.
