Advances in PET imaging of ischemic stroke.
Review in Frontiers in stroke, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Ischemic strokes make up 87% of all cerebrovascular events. Intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), a thrombolytic agent, has been recognized as the only viable option for patients with ischemic stroke if administered within 3.5 h of onset and increases the risk of hemorrhagic transformation if administered beyond the treatment window. Acute treatment strategies are centered around rescuing salvageable penumbra. Molecular imaging using positron emission tomography (PET) has shown higher sensitivity and specificity than CT and MRI in delineating penumbral tissues. In addition, PET imaging has identified the role of key inflammatory mediators in atherosclerosis, cellular damage, and recovery. Recently, a novel PET imaging study has shown the feasibility of investigating synaptic density in subacute stroke. Lastly, novel PET radiotracers have been developed to further explore biochemical mechanisms implicated in stroke pathophysiology. Further investigation with PET is needed to understand stroke mechanisms and advance pharmacologic treatment.
