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

objectivesTo investigate early treatment strategies for patients with mild acute ischemic stroke and large vessel occlusion, we evaluated the efficacy of intravenous thrombolysis in patients with mild stroke and large vessel occlusion in different hypoperfusion volumes.

methodsCohort data of consecutive patients (October 2021 to June 2024) with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion mild stroke (NIHSS ≤ 5) with onset < 24 h were retrospectively analyzed. We compared the outcomes of patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). The outcomes of patients on IVT and DAPT were then compared between the large-volume hypoperfusion group (> 65 ml) and the small-volume hypoperfusion group (≤ 65 ml) based on the hypoperfusion volume of CT perfusion (Tmax > 6s).

resultsA total of 222 patients were enrolled in the study (62 IVT, 160 DAPT). In 111 patients with small-volume hypoperfusion, there was no statistically significant difference in the rate of good prognosis (mRS0-1) at 90 days, the rate of early neurological deterioration and the rate of intracranial hemorrhage between the IVT and DAPT groups (P > 0.05). In another 111 patients with large-volume hypoperfusion, the IVT group had a higher rate of good prognosis (mRS0-1) at 90 days (OR:3.639,95%CI:1.249 ~ 10.601, P:0.018) and a higher rate of intracranial hemorrhage (OR:11.029, 95%CI:1.015 ~ 119.873, P:0.049) compared to the DAPT group.

conclusionsIn mild acute ischemic stroke patients with large-volume hypoperfusion and large-vessel occlusion, IVT has a higher rate of intracranial hemorrhage but a higher proportion of excellent functional outcomes compared with DAPT. Further randomized controlled trials are needed.
