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 and objective: Postoperative cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) remains a common and serious complication after extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass for moyamoya disease (MMD). This study aimed to identify preoperative hemodynamic predictors of CHS using quantitative whole-brain CT perfusion (WB-CTP) analysis. Methods: The author retrospectively analyzed 103 hemispheres from 89 MMD patients who underwent direct bypass from January 2024 to December 2024. Preoperative WB-CTP scans based on the Alberta Stroke Program Early CT score (ASPECTS) topography were processed to quantify cerebral blood flow (CBF) and time to peak (Tmax) across various brain regions, with the cerebellum serving as the reference. CHS was diagnosed based on clinical and radiological criteria. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent predictors, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate predictive performance. Results: Postoperative CHS occurred in 11.7% (12/103) of the included cases. Univariable analysis revealed Suzuki stage, moyamoya vessel density, and Tmax values in the thalamus (THAL) and posterior cerebral artery (PCA) regions as significant factors. Multivariable analysis confirmed advanced Suzuki stage (OR (95% CI), 8.87(1.44-54.45), Conclusion: Advanced Suzuki stage and reduced PCA Tmax are independent risk factors for postoperative CHS after direct bypass in MMD patients. Preoperative ASPECTS-based quantitative CTP analysis can effectively stratify CHS risk and support individualized surgical planning and perioperative management.
