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

PurposeThe aim of this study is to assess the impact of bridging intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), infarct core growth rate (ICGR) and their interaction on neurological outcomes in patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with anterior large vessel occlusion (LVO).MethodsPatients undergoing EVT due to anterior LVO (ICA to M2 branches) between 2018 and 2022 in a tertiary care center were included. Patient's baseline characteristics, peri-procedural factors of EVT and neurological outcomes were retrospectively analyzed. ICGR was determined by infarct core volume on perfusion CT divided by the time from stroke onset to imaging. Endpoints included early neurological improvement (ENI), defined as NIHSS reduction of ≥8 points after 24 h or NIHSS < 2 at discharge, and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) on CT at 24 h.ResultsOf 205 patients, 128 (62.4%) received bridging IVT. Neither bridging IVT, ICGR, nor their interaction was significantly associated with ENI or ICH occurrence. Factors significantly associated with ENI included short groin puncture to reperfusion time (OR = 0.98, CI 0.97-0.99,
