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
AimInvestigate the role of mobile stroke unit (MSU) and rendezvous transport with emergency medical service (EMS) in timely large vessel occlusion (LVO) identification and direct transfer to the comprehensive stroke center.MethodsThe fifth-generation MSU (5G-MSU) program was first implemented in 2019, directly dispatched through the 120 emergency medical services. The rendezvous transport was initiated in 2020. We report the first case of rendezvous transport plus prehospital computed tomography angiography (CTA) on 5G-MSU for endovascular treatment of LVO.ResultsA 5G-MSU was dispatched for a patient with reported right-sided hemiparesis and reduced consciousness at a primary stroke center, located at a distance of 106 km. The 5G-MSU and EMS coordinated a rendezvous transport to transfer the patient. CTA performed on the 5G-MSU revealed basilar artery occlusion, prompting immediate contact with the main hospital's angiography suite. Upon arrival, the patient was directly transferred to the angiography suite for endovascular therapy, achieving successful recanalization. Consequently, the call-to-puncture time was successfully achieved within 103 min, across a distance of 106 km.DiscussionRendezvous transport combined with prehospital CTA on the 5G-MSU in rural areas is feasible. This approach allows the MSU to extend beyond its conventional treatment coverage, rapidly identify large vessel occlusions, and thereby significantly reduce call-to-treatment time.
