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

Collateral status is an important therapeutic indicator for acute ischemic stroke (AIS), yet visual collateral grading remains subjective and suffers from inter-observer variability. To address this limitation, this study automatically extracted binarized vascular morphological features from CTA images and developed a convolutional neural network (CNN) for automated collateral classification. Performance trends were systematically analyzed across diverse hyperparameter combinations to meet different clinical decision needs. A total of 157 AIS patients (median age 65 [57-74] years; 61.8% were male) were retrospectively enrolled and stratified by Menon score into good (3-5,
