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

backgroundHemorrhagic transformation is a major complication after thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke, and its risk assessment based on baseline non-contrast CT (NCCT) remains limited. This study aims to evaluate the role of CT-based texture analysis of the infarcted region on baseline NCCT in characterizing tissue vulnerability to hemorrhagic transformation.

methodsThis retrospective single-center study included 50 patients with supratentorial acute ischemic stroke treated with thrombolysis. All patients underwent baseline NCCT and follow-up CT at 24 h and were divided into those with hemorrhagic transformation (

resultsGray-level and run-length non-uniformity features were significantly lower in patients with hemorrhagic transformation (

conclusionsCT-based texture analysis of baseline NCCT may provide additional quantitative information associated with subsequent hemorrhagic transformation. However, given the small sample size, single-center design and absence of external validation, these findings should be interpreted as exploratory and hypothesis-generating.
