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

introductionMechanical thrombectomy is a highly effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large vessel occlusions (LVO). However, our understanding of the pathophysiology of AIS is still limited, particularly regarding the ischemic microenvironment distal to the occlusion.

aimTo investigate the relationship between the intracerebral blood pressure (BP) distal to an LVO and clinical and imaging parameters.

methodsIn this single-center prospective study, intracerebral BPs proximal and distal to the occluding clot were measured during thrombectomy in patients with AIS of the anterior circulation caused by LVO. BPs were correlated with imaging parameters and clinical data using Spearman's rank correlation and linear regression.

results25 patients were included. A significant correlation was found between the mean arterial pressure (MAP) distal to the occlusion and the baseline Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (Spearman r=0.503, P=0.014) and baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (r=-0.439, P=0.036). No significant correlation was observed between the MAP distal to the occlusion and collateral scores (eg, MAP vs American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology/Society of Interventional Radiology score (r=0.307, P=0.165) or modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score (pre-mRS vs 90-day mRS; r=0.013, P=0.952)). Systemic MAPs did not correlate with the MAP distal to the clot (eg, R

conclusionThe intracerebral BP measured in the ischemic vasculature distal to the LVO correlates with the extent of the ischemic core and the clinical severity at baseline, but not with collateral scores, systemic BPs, or functional outcome. These results shed light on the pathophysiology of BP mechanisms in AIS and can be the basis for further research in this field.
