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: Time to reperfusion is believed to influence clinical outcomes following thrombectomy mainly through reduction of infarct growth. In this study, we aim to understand whether clinical outcomes can be influenced by ischemia duration (penumbral time) independent of postintervention infarct volume by comparing outcomes following thrombectomy in patients with similar (and small) follow-up infarct volumes. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained large-vessel occlusion stroke thrombectomy database across 3 US centers. Demographic, clinical, radiological, and outcomes data of patients with anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion (internal carotid or middle cerebral artery M1) stroke who had a witnessed-onset stroke, had substantial penumbral volumes, achieved successful reperfusion (modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction 2b-3), and had a follow-up infarct volume of <20 mL were analyzed. Results: A total of 233 patients (center A, 25; center B, 33; center C, 175) were included. Mean age was 71±16 years, and median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale was 15 (10-20). Median penumbral time was 4.7 (2.9-10) hours, and median follow-up infarct volume was 4.7 (0.2-9.4) mL. Despite comparable baseline characteristics and 24-hour infarct volumes, patients reperfused in the 0- to 6-hour time window had significantly higher rates of modified Rankin scale 0 to 2 (61% versus 40%; Conclusion: Longer penumbral duration is associated with a lower likelihood of functional independence among large-vessel occlusion strokes with small and comparable 24-hour follow-up infarct volume. Our findings indicate that delays in time to reperfusion affect clinical outcomes through mechanisms mediated by factors not solely limited to infarct reduction.
