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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesThe optimal blood pressure (BP) target after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) remains elusive. The aim of our study was to assess the relationship between individualized autoregulation-based BP thresholds, secondary brain injury, and functional outcomes.

methodsWe conducted a prospective observational study of patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent EVT. Simultaneous recordings of arterial BP and near-infrared spectroscopy were used to continuously monitor each patient's limits of autoregulation for up to 24 hours. Time outside limits of autoregulation was correlated with short-term clinical end points, radiographic biomarkers of secondary brain injury, and functional outcomes.

resultsPersonalized BP targets were successfully computed in 199 patients. Percent time outside limits of autoregulation was independently associated with early neurologic deterioration (OR 1.2, 95% CI 1.1-1.4, DISCUSSION: Deviations from personalized BP targets were associated with an increased risk of secondary brain injury and worse functional outcomes. The study proposes autoregulation-oriented BP management as a promising strategy for improving recovery after ischemic stroke.
