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: Thousands of hospitals worldwide have adopted mobile artificial intelligence (AI)-based stroke care coordination platforms. Studies exploring the benefit of these platforms have been scrutinized due to small sample size, serial cohort design, and measurement of metrics with multiple determinants. In this large multi-center study, we evaluated the ability of an AI-based stroke care coordination platform to expedite contact with the interventionalist (NIR) for potential thrombectomy. Methods: Acute stroke consultations seen by TeleSpecialists, LLC physicians at 166 facilities (17 states) utilizing Viz.ai software (AI) vs. no AI software (non-AI) were extracted from the TeleCare by TeleSpecialists™ database from December 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022. The primary outcome was time from patient arrival to first contact with the interventionalist to discuss need for potential thrombectomy (Arrival-to-NIR notification). Results: A total of 14,116 cases were analyzed. Compared to the non-AI cohort, Arrival-to-NIR notification in the AI cohort was: (1) 39.5 min faster (44.13% reduction, Conclusions: While this study was limited by our inability to capture detailed neuroimaging timelines and patient outcomes, it suggests a potential significant benefit of AI-based stroke care coordination platforms and underscores the critical need to development robust "big data" systems to study the effects of AI, and other emerging technologies, on stroke systems of care.
