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

Background: The predictors of intracranial haemorrhagic transformation (HT) in acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) patients undergoing dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) are not well known. Objectives: The aim of this study is to identify the possible clinical and radiological predictors of HT in patients, irrespective of clinical indication for this treatment. Design: This study is a monocentric cohort retrospective study. Methods: We enrolled consecutive AIS patients, from our prospective register, admitted to Stroke Unit between June 2021 and June 2023 undergoing DAPT with Acetylsalicylic Acid and Clopidogrel within 72 h from symptoms onset. According to current guidelines, DAPT indication was for patients with a minor stroke, symptomatic intracranial artery stenosis and carotid angioplasty stenting. We collected clinical, demographical and radiological data. We used ABC/2 method to measure stroke volume in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences performed within 48 h. The primary outcome was the presence of HT at non-contrast brain computed tomography, performed 7 days after commencing DAPT. Results: One hundred ninety-four patients were included. Twenty-eight (14.4%) presented HT. Higher NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and MRI/DWI lesion volume related to increased risk of HT ( Conclusion: In clinical practice, MT treatment, antiplatelet LD administration, stent placement and clinical severity may relate to a higher risk of HT in patients with AIS and DAPT in the acute phase. In particular, we found that lesion volume cut-off could help to identify patients at greater risk of HT, regardless of the indication for DAPT.
