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

objectiveTo evaluate the association of asymmetrical cortical vein sign (ACVS) and asymmetrical medullary vein sign (AMVS) on susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) with 90-day poor outcomes in patients with unilateral middle cerebral artery acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after conservative drug treatment.

methodsClinical data for the participants included age, sex, smoking, alcohol, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, NHISS-admission, and NHISS-discharge scores. Participants underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 12 h of hospital admission, including conventional scan sequences and a SWI sequence. Poor prognosis was defined as a modified Rankin scale (mRS) ≥ 3 at 90 days.

resultsA total of 108 patients were included from January 2021 to March 2022. Twenty-seven (25%) patients had a poor outcome at 90 days. Univariate analysis indicated that diabetes, NHISS-admission, NHISS-discharge, DWI-ASPECTS, SWI-ASPECTS, FLAIR-ASPECTS, and AMVS + were associated with 90-day poor outcome. Multivariate regression analysis showed that AMVS + was associated with 90-day poor outcome from the three models (OR = 3.57, P = 0.006; OR = 3.74, P = 0.005; OR = 5.14, P = 0.0057). However, no significant association was found between ACVS + and 90-day poor outcome.

conclusionsAMVS might be a helpful neuroimaging predictor for poor outcome at 90 days compared to ACVS in drug-conserving treatment of patients with unilateral middle cerebral artery ischemic stroke.
