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 purpose: Despite the fundamental role of pial collateral vessels in limiting the progression of ischemic tissue injury in acute stroke with large vessel occlusion (LVO), in addition to the fact that collateral vessel abundance varies naturally from person to person for genetic reasons, there is limited knowledge regarding potential factors contributing to inherent interindividual variation in pial collateral supply. As it has been repeatedly hypothesized that chronic carotid occlusive disease may favor pial collateralization, we aimed to investigate the association between quantitatively assessed leptomeningeal collateral supply and pre-existing carotid stenosis in patients with acute stroke due to LVO. Materials and methods: Patients with proximal middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion with or without additional internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion were included. The degree of collateral supply was quantitatively assessed based on signal variance in T2*-weighted time series in perfusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (PWI). Patients were stratified into two groups according to quantitative collateral status (poor and fair to good collateral supply). The prevalence of high-grade ICA stenosis (≥70%) was evaluated in both groups. Results: A total of 98 patients (mean age 68.8 ± 16.1 years, Conclusion: In this study, we performed a quantitative and observer-independent MRI-based collateral assessment in patients with LVO. We found no significant difference in the prevalence of pre-existing high-grade ICA stenosis between patients with fair to good collateral supply and those with poor collateral supply. The potential influence of demographic and clinical variables on pial collateral supply in patients with acute stroke warrants further exploration in future studies. MRI-based collateral supply is significantly related to initial stroke severity, ischemic core volume, and early functional outcomes.
