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

Background: It is essential to understand the factors that influence patient outcomes in stroke research. The infarct core growth rate (ICGR) is emerging as a potentially valuable marker, but its relationship with patient outcomes, especially concerning the onset-to-recanalization time (ORT), requires further clarification. This study investigates the impact of ICGR on 90-day (90d) outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients and explores whether stratifying ICGR analysis based on ORT provides more detailed prognostic insights. Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed patients with acute ischemic stroke with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (AIS-ACLVO) who underwent endovascular treatment (EVT) between January 2021 and December 2023. Their clinical characteristics, baseline and imaging data were recorded upon admission. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days post-procedure. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was employed for data screening. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the relationship between ICGR and 90-day (90d) clinical outcome. Additionally, a stratified analysis based on ORT was conducted to compare the diagnostic performance of ICGR and infarct core volume (ICV) at different time points. Results: A total of 153 patients were included in the analysis. Univariate and Lasso regression analyses showed that the group with unfavorable outcomes had statistically significant differences in ICGR, age, history of atrial fibrillation, history of drinking, admission blood glucose level, Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS), and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score compared to the favorable outcome group (all Conclusion: Our research indicates that the ICGR correlates with 90d clinical outcomes in AIS-ACLVO patients: a faster rate is associated with poorer outcomes. Within 8 h of ORT, the ICGR serves as a better predictor of 90d outcome than ICV.
