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

Background and Aims: Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) can help in the diagnosis of thrombus within the vessel in acute ischemic stroke, known as susceptibility vessel sign (SVS), and detection of SVS within the vessel can predict treatment modality and outcome. In this study, the purpose is to correlate the SVS on SWI with different parameters of stroke. Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study enrolled consecutive stroke patients with vessel occlusion on magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) over 1 year. The relationship between SVS on SWI with risk factors, territory involved, and length of thrombus was correlated with the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Results: A total of 105 patients were enrolled in this study. Sixty-two percent (66 out of 105) of patients showed SVS on SWI with MRA-positive occlusion. A positive correlation was observed between SVS on SWI and the risk factor ( Conclusions: SWI can be useful in identifying the location of the thrombus, and NIHSS can determine the thrombus length in acute stroke. A higher incidence of SVS can be associated with risk factors, and it also depends upon the site of occlusion of the vessel.
