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

purpose of reviewEffective control of blood pressure (BP) is potentially a critical determinant in making a successful recovery from acute ischemic stroke. BP is often elevated after the onset of this critical illness, and it is related to both the severity of the ischemic injury and subsequent changes in cerebral perfusion and collateral blood flow. However, recent studies have challenged longstanding assumptions over the safety and efficacy of BP lowering in being able to reduce the risk of reperfusion injury in acute ischemic stroke. This review synthesizes contemporary evidence and discusses the evolving landscape of BP management in acute ischemic stroke. RECENT

findingsThree prehospital ambulance-initiated trials of early BP lowering in patients with undifferentiated stroke have shown neutral or adverse effects, while the results of multiple trials of in-hospital management BP lowering in patients who have received successful reperfusion therapy for acute ischemic stroke due to large-vessel occlusion highlight the risks of over-aggressive treatment. Despite considerable research effort, the optimal BP management strategy in acute ischemic stroke remains uncertain, although avoiding excessive reductions appears critical.
