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

Preclinical models of large-vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke play an important role in testing novel thrombolytic and neuroprotective agents, as well as assessing endovascular devices for endovascular thrombectomy. Depending on the modality used to model LVO stroke, different aspects of human stroke pathophysiology can be recapitulated. Thus, variables including size and region of the occlusion, composition of the clot, and degree of reperfusion can be controlled. We conducted a thorough literature review of all the preclinical models of stroke used currently. We searched for studies using the PubMed database and included original studies, reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. In this review, we describe the considerations in choosing a preclinical model of LVO stroke. We provide an overview of available small- and large-animal LVO stroke models that can be used in stroke research as well as the benefits and limitations of each. We then discuss the current outcome measures that can be evaluated through these models, in terms of both tissue damage and behavioral outcome. We also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each animal model. Finally, based on this summary, we propose that mice represent the most versatile small-animal LVO model and dogs are the most appropriate large-animal LVO stroke model to translate candidate drugs and devices into clinical trials.
