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

Optimal systolic blood pressure (SBP) targets after endovascular therapy (EVT) for stroke in older adults (≥ 65 years) remain undefined. This study assessed age-stratified associations between early post-EVT SBP (first 6 h) and outcomes. Post hoc analysis of two trials. Patients were stratified by age (18-64 vs. ≥ 65 years) and SBP (≤ 120, 120-140, > 140 mmHg). Primary outcome was 90-day functional status (modified Rankin Scale, mRS). Inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) and multivariable regression adjusted for confounders. Post-EVT SBP data were available for 267 young and 395 old patients. IPTW analysis revealed that sustained SBP below 120 mmHg during the first 6 h post-EVT significantly enhanced functional independence in elderly patients (common OR: 2.00; 95% CI: 1.18-3.39). Among young cohorts, maintenance of SBP ≤ 120 mmHg (cOR, 2.89; 95% CI, 1.45-5.82) and 120-140 mmHg (cOR, 3.18; 95% CI, 1.58-6.47) were associated with a better outcome. sICH incidence demonstrated no statistically significant association with systolic blood pressure (SBP) levels (P = 0.21; 95% CI: 0.93-1.35). During the initial 6-h window post-EVT, younger patients with SBP ≤ 140 mmHg and elderly patients with SBP ≤ 120 mmHg were associated with favorable outcome. These results suggest that stricter blood pressure control may be particularly beneficial for older adults in the early post-EVT phase.Trial Registration: The DEVT registration: URL: http://www.chictr.org.cn ; Chinese Clinical Trial Registry: ChiCTR-IOR-17013568, and the RESCUE BT registration: URL: http://www.chictr.org.cn ; ChiCTR-INR-17014167.
