Exploring the feasibility of EEG for pre-hospital detection of medium and large vessel occlusion strokes: a proof-of-concept study.

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
Introduction: Early and accurate identification of stroke subtypes, particularly medium (MeVO) and large vessel occlusions (LVO), is critical for timely intervention and improving patient outcomes. Current pre-hospital diagnostic methods are limited in sensitivity, delaying treatment for ischemic stroke candidates eligible for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). Methods: This proof-of-concept study explores the feasibility of using electroencephalography (EEG) as a diagnostic tool for pre-hospital detection of MeVO and LVO strokes. Conducted in the emergency department setting, this study assessed the efficacy of quantitative EEG biomarkers in differentiating MeVO/LVO-positive cases ( Results: Findings from MeVO- and LVO-positive subjects revealed hemispheric asymmetry in delta and alpha frequency bands, particularly in frontal and temporal regions, as well as a global attenuation of power irrespective of the region of stroke. Discussion: This study supports the potential of EEG for real-time, non-invasive stroke detection in pre-hospital and clinical environments, demonstrating the need for wet EEG systems for reliable signal acquisition. Future work aims to validate the use of EEG in the pre-hospital setting in an effort to facilitate rapid triage and reduce time to treatment for stroke patients.
