Collateral circulation significantly improves prognosis in cerebral infarction: a meta-analysis.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveTo systematically evaluate the association between collateral circulation and prognosis in patients with cerebral infarction through a meta-analysis.
methodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple databases to identify studies examining the relationship between collateral circulation and outcomes in cerebral infarction. Studies were screened based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were extracted and pooled using standard meta-analytic techniques.
resultsA total of 41 studies encompassing 10,510 patients were included. Meta-analysis revealed that good collateral circulation was significantly associated with a favorable prognosis (pooled odds ratio [OR] = 1.67, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.35-2.07; P < 0.001). Subgroup analyses confirmed this association across different geographic regions and sample sizes.
conclusionCollateral circulation is a critical determinant of prognosis in cerebral infarction. Enhancing collateral circulation may serve as a promising therapeutic strategy to improve clinical outcomes in affected patients.
