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

aimsThe tissue window is increasingly recognized in guiding reperfusion therapy beyond the standard time window in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This study aims to develop a nomogram incorporating an ischemic core growth rate index to provide individualized prediction of neurological outcomes in AIS patients who received intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).

methodsA retrospective study was conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University (2016-2023). A lasso-logistic method was employed for variable selection and model construction. The performance of the model was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic curve, calibration curve, decision curve analysis, and compared with a conventional indexed one.

resultsThe study cohort comprised 553 patients with favorable outcomes (median ischemic core growth rate: 1.4 [0.5, 4.1] mL/h) and 198 patients with poor outcomes (median ischemic core growth rate: 5.7 [1.1, 14.2] mL/h). The nomogram included diabetes, TOAST classification, ischemic core growth rate, neutrophil count, direct bilirubin, and NIHSS score at admission. It achieved an AUC of 0.882 (95% CI: 0.855-0.908), outperforming the conventional indexed one. Calibration showed good agreement between predicted and observed outcomes (Hosmer-Lemeshow p = 0.851).

conclusionIschemic core growth rate strongly correlates with neurological prognosis in AIS. This nomogram offers reliable predictions for IVT outcomes.
