Stroke patient admission timings and comparison with golden hour admissions at Tezpur Medical College and Hospital: A prospective study.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: This Prospective study observes the time of admission for stroke patients at the tertiary hospital of Assam and compares demographic and clinical characteristics between patients admitted within the "golden hour" and those admitted beyond this critical timeframe. Findings aim to identify factors associated with delayed admissions and evaluate the impact of admission timing on stroke care and patient outcomes. Materials and Methods: All the patients diagnosed with stroke admitted to Tezpur Medical College were followed up for a period of 4 months. This study adopts a prospective observational design that includes 217 stroke patients of above 18 years of age. Results: A total of 217 stroke study patients were surveyed. 135 (62.2%) belonged to the age range of ≤60 years, whereas 82 (37.8%) patients were over 60 years. Majority of the study population comes from rural areas 170 (78.3%) and 47 (21.7%) from urban areas. The distance of patients from place of occurrence to the Hospital where majority of the 121 (55.8%) patients came from >40 km away from the hospital. Only 44 (20.3%) patients reached hospital in less than 4.5 hours (The Golden hours for treatment following a stroke). The remaining 173 (79.7%) patients took more than 4.5 hours to reach hospital. Majority of the 201 (92.6%) patients received treatment within or less than 30 min at hospital. Conclusion: The Comprehensive training and supervision of health care workers, in increasing awareness regarding the period of golden hour for stroke patients has been noted.
