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
Background: A simplified patient selection paradigm with noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) can reduce the time to reperfusion and widen the eligibility of acute ischemic stroke large vessel occlusions (LVOs) for endovascular therapy. The objectives of this article are (1) to develop, train, and internally validate a deep learning algorithm that estimates baseline infarct core volume (ICV) on NCCT in anterior circulation LVO patients, and (2) by using an external set, to ascertain how this algorithm's (aICV-NCCT) predictive performance compares with Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score-NCCT and ICV-CT perfusion in its capacity to estimate the final infarct volume established on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging at 24- to 48-hour follow-up. Methods: In the first phase, stroke activations with baseline NCCT and CT angiography were used to train an aICV-NCCT. The algorithm was then internally validated using intraclass correlations and Intersection over Union. In the external set, patients with LVO treated with endovascular therapy achieving modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score ≥2b and available baseline NCCT, CT angiography, and CT perfusion were included. Results: A total of 2858 studies of patients with stroke alerts were used for training (80%) and internal validation (20%). We obtained a high correlation (intraclass correlation coefficient, 0.78; CI, 0.73-0.83) and an acceptable Intersection over Union of 0.24 on the internal validation set. The external set consisted on 230 patients with an LVO. When predicting final infarct volume on the external set, our aICV-NCCT was similar to ICV-CT perfusion (intraclass correlation coefficient, 0.50 versus 0.54; Conclusion: In this study, we developed and validated a deep learning algorithm that demonstrates an at least equivalent performance to CT perfusion in estimating core volume on acute stroke imaging studies in patients with suspected anterior circulation LVO strokes. The algorithm's robust performance holds significant potential in settings with limited access to advanced imaging technologies across diverse healthcare environments.
