Interdisciplinary neurovascular networks in Germany: update 2025.
Article in Neurological research and practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundNeurovascular networks (NVNs) in Germany are supra-regional care structures for patients with neurovascular diseases. Each NVN consists of a tertiary care center serving as the coordinating center-in some cases, two or three coordinating centers-and at least three partner hospitals. Since 2018, 19 neurovascular networks (NVNs) have been audited and certified. NVNs play a crucial role in stroke care in Germany, as first described and quantified in 2020.
methodsThe present article provides an update on interdisciplinary NVNs in Germany and outlines recent developments in neurovascular patient care. Audit reports from 19 NVNs, certified between 2021 and 2024, were analyzed, and compared to previously reported data from 2017 to 2019. Additionally, structural and quality-related parameters for coordinating centers and partner hospitals were compared.
resultsThe number of NVNs increased from 15 to 19, with approximately 120,000 from an estimated 262,000 neurovascular patients in Germany now treated annually in certified NVN hospitals. In particular, annual thrombectomy rates at coordinating centers have increased over-proportionally (> 4400, as compared to previously < 2500), and surgical treatments for intracerebral hemorrhages have also increased. Process times-door-to-needle and door-to-groin times-remained stable or exhibited slight increases. Substantial variability was observed among NVN partner hospitals regarding procedural volumes.
conclusionsThe treatment of patients with neurovascular diseases in Germany has expanded considerably within certified NVN hospitals in recent years. The NVNs ensure comprehensive, high-quality stroke care nationwide.
