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/

aimIschemic stroke is a major health concern globally and developing reliable animal models is crucial for understanding its pathophysiology. This study evaluated the relationship between cerebral angiographic findings and neurologic dysfunction in an acute non-human primate thromboembolic stroke model and determined the minimum clot length for suitable middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion. MATERIALS AND

methodsA thromboembolic stroke model was developed by injecting autologous blood clots (length: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 10 cm, n=1 to 3, 14 monkeys in total) into the internal carotid artery of male cynomolgus monkeys. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and neurologic deficit observation were performed pre-; immediately after (DSA only); and 1, 3, 6, and 24 h after embolization, and the relationship between clot length, neurologic deficits, and cerebral infarction was assessed.

resultsDSA confirmed MCA occlusion in all animals after the clot injection. Recanalization of the MCA was observed within 6 h post-embolization in animals with shorter clots (≤3 cm). Neurologic deficits were evident in animals with MCA occlusion and correlated with the clot length. Larger clots (≥5 cm) led to permanent MCA occlusion, significant neurologic deficits, and extensive cerebral infarction. Histopathological examination revealed ischemic damage in brain regions corresponding to the infarcted areas.

conclusionClot length is critical in determining the extent of neurologic dysfunction and cerebral infarction, with larger clots producing more severe outcomes. Furthermore, the minimum clot length required for model creation is 5 cm.
