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

The hemodynamic changes of acute small subcortical infarction (SSI) are not well understood. We evaluate the hemodynamic changes and collaterals in acute SSI using perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A total of 103 patients with acute SSI in penetrating artery territories were recruited and underwent MRI within 24 h of stroke onset. Using 4D dynamic perfusion MRI, they were divided into three patterns: 25 (24%) with normal perfusion, 31 (30%) with compensated perfusion, and 47 (46%) with hypoperfusion. The development of anterograde or retrograde collaterals was also evaluated. Patients with hypoperfusion pattern had the highest rate of early neurological deterioration (32%, p = 0.007), the largest initial and final infarction volumes (p < 0.001 and p = 0.029), the lowest relative cerebral blood flow (0.63, p < 0.001), and the lowest rate of anterograde and retrograde collaterals (19%, p < 0.001; 66%, p = 0.002). The anterograde collaterals were associated with higher relative cerebral blood volume (0.91 vs. 0.77; p = 0.024) and a higher rate of deep cerebral microbleeds (48 vs. 21%; p = 0.028), whereas retrograde collaterals were associated with higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.031 and 0.020), smaller initial infarction volume (0.81 vs. 1.34 ml, p = 0.031), and a higher rate of lobar cerebral microbleeds (30 vs. 0%; p = 0.013). Both anterograde and retrograde collaterals may play a critical role in maintaining cerebral perfusion and can have an impact on patient clinical outcomes. Further studies are warranted to verify these findings and to investigate effective treatments.
