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

purposeSince perfusion imaging may be unavailable in smaller hospitals, alternative imaging selection methods for acute ischemic stroke can improve outcomes and optimize resources. This study assessed the safety and effectiveness of using imaging criteria other than DEFUSE 3 and DAWN for thrombectomy beyond 6 h from symptom onset in patients stroke in the anterior circulation.

methodsThis is a retrospective, single-center analysis of consecutive patients with large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation undergoing thrombectomy. Patients were categorized into two groups based on the collateral status (moderate collaterals and good collaterals).

resultsAmong 198 patients, 106 (54%) met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Good collateral status was observed in 78 (74%) patients. Patients with good collaterals showed significantly lower mRS scores at discharge and at 90 days compared to their counterparts with moderate collateral status (4 (3-4) vs. 4 (4-5); p = 0.001 and 2 (0-4) vs. 6 (3-6); p < 0.001, respectively). More patients with good collateral status achieved favorable outcomes at 90 days compared to those with moderate status (48 (61.5%) vs. 5 (17.9%); p < 0.001). Good collaterals were an independent predictor of good clinical outcomes at 90 days (OR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.13-1.53, p < 0.001).

conclusionSelecting patients for endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke using non-contrast CT and CT angiography shows 90-day outcomes similar to the DAWN and DEFUSE-3 trials. Using collateral status on CT angiography can predict favorable outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy in resource-limited settings where perfusion imaging is unavailable.
