Machine learning to predict penumbra core mismatch in acute ischemic stroke using clinical note data.
Article in NPJ digital medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
In acute ischemic stroke due to large-vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO), late-window endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) decisions depend on penumbra-to-core (P:C) mismatch from computed tomographic perfusion (CTP). We developed multiple machine learning (ML) models to predict P:C ratios from a retrospectively-identified cohort of AIS-LVO patients who underwent CTP within 30 min of initial neuroimaging, using non-imaging electronic health record (EHR) data available prior to CTP evaluation. We extracted structured data and free-text clinical notes from the EHR, generating document embeddings as sums of BioWordVec vectors weighted by term-frequency-inverse-document-frequency scores. We identified 120 patients; an extreme-gradient-boosting model classified P:C ratios as ≥ or <1.8, achieving an AUROC of 0.80 (95% CI 0.57-0.92) with optimal performance using text limited to 500 characters. Sensitivity was 0.80, specificity 0.66, and F1 score 0.86. Our findings suggest that ML models leveraging real-world non-imaging data can potentially aid LVO-AIS triage, though further validation is needed.
