Association of critical hypoperfusion biomarkers on CT with futile recanalization and poor outcome after mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke.
Article in BMC neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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 purposeWe aimed to investigate the association between critical perfusion delay and poor outcome among recanalized stroke patients with anterior large-vessel occlusion, and to use pretreatment hypoperfusion biomarkers on CT to predict futile recanalization even after successful thrombectomy.
methodsAn ischemic region with time-to-maximum (Tmax) > 12s-10s was defined as critical hypoperfusion, Tmax > 8s as moderate hypoperfusion, and hypoperfusion intensity ratio (HIR, volumetric ratio of Tmax > 10s / Tmax > 6s) represented for severity of critical hypoperfusion and rCBF < 30% for ischemic core. The associations between these CT perfusion characteristics and favorable or unfavorable outcome (mRS 0-2 versus 3-6) were analyzed in univariable regression, and a multivariable model was then used to predict futile recanalization.
resultsSeventy-nine stroke patients were included and had good grades of instant recanalization. Forty-two patients (53%) had poor outcomes, and they had a significantly larger volume of critical hypoperfusion as seen with Tmax > 10s and > 12s (P = 0.032 and 0.008, respectively), a larger volume of ischemic core (P = 0.011) and a higher HIR (P = 0.002) than those patients achieving good outcomes. In the univariable analysis, a lower HIR (OR, 0.008; 95%CI, 0.001-0.254, P = 0.006) was associated with favorable outcome. The volume size of Tmax > 12s was significantly and positively correlated with the size of ischemic core. A HIR value higher than 0.491 might predict a futile recanalization and poor outcome (AUC = 0.701).
conclusionsThe critical hypoperfusion biomarkers on CTP could be useful in triaging endovascular treatment and identifying stroke patients at risk of futile recanalization.
