The CT collateral map: collateral perfusion estimation and baseline lesion assessment after acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke.
Article in La Radiologia medica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeTo investigate the clinical feasibility of a CT collateral map compared with an MRA collateral map, focusing on collateral perfusion (CP) estimation and baseline lesion assessment in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective analysis used selected data from a prospectively collected database. We generated CT collateral maps derived from CT perfusion, encompassing images of arterial, capillary, early venous (CMEV), late venous, and delay phases. Three raters assessed CP scores from MRA and CT collateral maps and CMEV lesion volumes. Lesion volumes of baseline diffusion-weighted imaging (bDWI) and cerebral blood flow rate (CBF) < 30% were automatically measured by the software. The agreement between MRA and CT collateral maps in CP estimation and the correlation between lesion volumes with a CBF < 30% and the CMEV for bDWI lesion volumes were analyzed.
resultsOne-hundred ten patients (mean age ± standard deviation, 71 ± 14; 60 women) with AIS due to steno-occlusion of the internal carotid and/or middle cerebral arteries were included. The agreement between the MRA and CT collateral maps in CP grading was excellent (weighted κ = 0.93; 95% CI, 0.90-0.97). The concordance correlation coefficients (CCCs) of the CBF < 30% and CMEV for bDWI lesion volumes were 0.76 (95% CI, 0.60-0.91) and 0.97 (0.95-0.98), respectively.
conclusionThe clinical feasibility of the CT collateral map is demonstrated by its significant correlation with the MRA collateral map in CP estimation and baseline lesion assessment.
