Effects of Stroke Awareness on Onset-to-Hospital Time and Healthcare Costs in Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Cross-Sectional Study.

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.
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
Introduction: Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for the effective treatment of ischemic stroke. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of stroke knowledge among patients and caregivers on hospital arrival, clinical outcomes, and healthcare costs. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of 219 patients with ischemic stroke and their family members. Awareness of stroke was measured using a structured questionnaire, and the participants were divided into two groups: those with a high level of awareness of stroke and those with a low level of awareness of stroke. The primary outcome measures were time to hospital arrival, modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores at 1 and 3 months, and the total treatment cost within 3 months. Results: Patients in the high-awareness group presented to the hospital much earlier (58±21.8 min vs. 185±40.3 min, p=0.001), displayed better functional outcome at 1 month (mRS: 1.64 vs. 2.19, p=0.01) and at 3 months (mRS: 1.52 vs. 1.95, p=0.01) and lower treatment costs ($998 vs. $1679, p=0.001). Interestingly, calling the emergency service as a first response was associated with significantly lower costs. On the other hand, low awareness was associated with delayed intervention, worse clinical outcomes, and greater economic strain. Conclusion: A better understanding of the signs of a stroke by patients and their caregivers leads to faster treatment, improved recovery, and lower costs. Stroke awareness can be enhanced through public health efforts, potentially leading to a significant reduction in the clinical and economic burden of stroke.
