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

In single subcortical infarction (SSI), changes in lesion size are a major determinant of early neurological deterioration. We evaluated the association between END and infarct growth velocity (IGV) in patients with SSI. We included consecutive patients with SSI who underwent MRI within 24 h of symptom onset between 2010 and 2020. END was defined as an increase of ≥ 2 in the total National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score or ≥ 1 in the motor NIHSS score. IGV was calculated using the following formula: IGV (mL/h) = diffusion-weighted imaging volume (mL)/time to MRI (h). A total of 604 patients with SSI were evaluated. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that IGV remained significant after adjusting for confounders (aOR = 1.34, 95% CI 1.12-1.61). In a subgroup analysis based on the type of SSI, only patients with distal SSI showed an association between IGV and END (aOR = 1.64, 95% CI 1.24-2.16). In patients with proximal SSI, IGV did not show any statistical association with END. In conclusion, IGV was positively associated with END in patients with SSI. IGV should be interpreted differently in clinical settings depending on the location of the SSI lesion.
