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

purposeThis study aimed to develop a predictive model for assessing the risk of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) following mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

methodsThis retrospective study included 143 patients who underwent MT for AIS between March 2021 and December 2023. Participants were stratified into two groups based on the presence of post-procedural HT: the HT group (n = 90) and the non-HT group (n = 53). Risk factors associated with the development of HT were examined using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. A predictive model was subsequently constructed based on the independent risk factors identified. The discrimination, calibration, and clinical applicability of the nomogram model were evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve with its area under the curve (AUC), calibration curve, and decision curve. Bootstrap resampling was performed 1,000 times to validate the model.

resultsThe incidence of HT following MT was 62.9%. Independent predictors of HT included the number of thrombectomy device passes, the time from admission to the initiation of surgery, total volume of preoperative low-density areas on CT or high-signal areas on MRI-DWI, and BMI (p < 0.05 for all). The AUC of the predictive model was 0.889. After 1,000 repeated re-samplings using the Bootstrap method, the AUC was 0.874 (95% CI: 0.801-0.936). The calibration curve and decision curve demonstrated that the model had good consistency and net benefit.

conclusionThe predictive model developed in this study demonstrated high accuracy in identifying patients with AIS at increased risk of HT after MT. This model may support early identification of high-risk individuals and inform the implementation of targeted preventive strategies.
