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: Fast and accurate detection of large vessel occlusions (LVOs) is crucial in selection of patients with acute ischemic stroke for endovascular treatment. We assessed accuracy of an automated LVO detection algorithm with LVO localization feature. Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent computed tomography angiography in 2 centers between January 2018 and September 2019 and between June and November 2020 for suspected anterior circulation LVO were retrospectively included. Reference standard for presence and site of an anterior circulation LVO (intracranial internal carotid artery, M1, or M2 segments of the middle cerebral artery) was established by consensus of 2 independent neuroradiologist readings. All computed tomography angiographies were processed by StrokeViewer-LVO, Nicolab. Accuracy of this algorithm with LVO localization feature was assessed. Results: In total, computed tomography angiographies of 364 patients with suspected anterior circulation LVO were analyzed (mean age 67±15 years; 185 male patients). A total of 180 patients (49%) had an LVO (intracranial internal carotid artery [n=49 (27%)], M1 [n=91 (51%)], and M2 [n=40 (22%)]). Sensitivity and specificity for LVO detection were, respectively, 91% (95% CI, 86%-95%) and 87% (95% CI, 81%-91%). NPV and PPV were, respectively, 91% (95% CI, 86%-94%) and 87% (95% CI, 82%-91%). Accuracy of the LVO localization feature was 95%. Median upload-to-notification time was 04:31 (interquartile range, 04:21-05:50) minutes. Conclusions: The automated LVO detection algorithm evaluated in this study, rapidly and accurately detected anterior circulation LVOs with high accuracy of the LVO localization feature. Therefore, it is a suitable screening tool to support and speed up diagnosis of stroke.
