Diagnostic value of non-invasive large vessel occlusion detection methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
BackgroundAccurate and timely prehospital detection of large vessel occlusion (LVO) is critical for optimizing patient triage and initiating appropriate reperfusion therapies. Recent advances in portable stroke detection technologies, such as electroencephalography (EEG) and transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound, offer potential solutions but their diagnostic performance remains unclear.MethodsWe searched PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science, following the PRISMA guidelines. Studies were included if they assessed the diagnostic performance of non-invasive prehospital LVO detection tools compared to CT or MR angiography. Risk of bias was assessed using the QUADAS-2 tool.ResultsA total of 13 studies were included, examining various portable detection tools including EEG or neurophysiological monitoring, ultrasound-based techniques including TCD or TCCD, portable Openwater optical blood flow monitor and cranial accelerometry. The pooled diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) was 52.7 (95% CI: 28.3-97.8), indicating strong diagnostic performance, with significant heterogeneity among studies (I
