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: This paper aimed to test the feasibility of computed tomography perfusion (CTP) in predicting stroke recurrence in patients with symptomatic middle cerebral artery atherosclerotic disease. Methods: This is a retrospective study. 322 patients from 4 advanced stroke centers diagnosed as symptomatic middle cerebral artery atherosclerotic disease, including severe stenosis and occlusion were recruited. All patients underwent head CTP, digital subtraction angiography (DSA), MR 14-21 days after onset. Stroke recurrence of patients within 3 months was recorded. Patients were divided into recurrence group and control group according to whether stroke recurrence 3 months after onset. The association of imaging characteristics, other risk factors and patients stroke recurrence was assessed. Results: 104 patients presented stroke recurrence within 3 months after onset. Patients in recurrence group showed more severe vascular stenosis ( Conclusion: Symptomatic middle cerebral artery atherosclerotic stenosis or occlusion patients with severe hypoperfusion might suffer a higher risk of stroke recurrence. Volume of Tmax>4 s and Tmax>6 s in CTP could be used to predict the prognosis of these patients.
