Patient flow analysis with fast-track MRI for suspected stroke in the emergency department and associated non-comprehensive stroke center.

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: Good outcomes in stroke care require swift diagnostics, for which magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as first-line brain imaging is superior to computed tomography scans. Reduced length of stay (LOS) in hospital and emergency departments (ED) may optimize resource use. Fast-track stroke MRI was implemented as the primary imaging technique for suspected stroke, in the ED at Copenhagen University Hospital-Herlev and Gentofte in 2020. Objectives: We aimed to describe and compare LOS, MRI utilization, and the rate of strokes versus stroke-mimicking conditions on the stroke ward, before and after the implementation of fast-track MRI. Design and method: In this cross-sectional study, we used data from admissions to the neurologic ED and associated non-comprehensive stroke unit. We compared two time periods, that is, January 1-December 31, 2019, and January 1-December 31, 2020, before and after the implementation of fast-track stroke MRI. Results: There were 6650 admissions before and 7201 after implementation of fast-track stroke MRI. After implementation, we observed reductions in average LOS in hospitals from 56.0 to 38.6 h ( Conclusion: Fast-track stroke MRI in ED associated with reduced LOS in hospital.
