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

backgroundIntracranial high-density areas (HDAs) have attracted considerable attention for predicting clinical outcomes; however, whether HDAs predict worse neurological function and mental health remains controversial and unclear, which requires further investigation.

aimTo investigate the predictive value of intracranial HDAs for neurological function and mental health after endovascular treatment.

methodsIn this prospective study, 96 patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) who accepted endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (EMT) were included. The enrolled patients underwent cranial computed tomography (CT) examination within 24 hours after EMT. Clinical data in terms of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), the 3-month modified Rankin Scale (mRS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), and self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) scores were collected and compared between patients with HDAs and non-HDAs and between patients with good and poor clinical prognosis.

resultsCompared to patients without HDAs, patients with HDAs presented severe neurological deficits (admission NIHSS score: 18 ± 3

conclusionIn conclusion, HDAs on CT images predicted poor prognosis and severe depressive and anxiety symptoms in patients with AIS who underwent EMT.
