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 and purposeInduced hypertension therapy (IHT) is effective for treating early neurological deterioration (END) in patients with single subcortical infarction (SSI). However, the underlying pathophysiology of SSI is diverse and may affect the efficacy of IHT.

methodsWe reviewed patients with SSI who experienced END and received IHT were enrolled. END was defined as ≥2-point increase in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, ≥1 motor point increase. IHT was performed by using phenylephrine infusion to raise systolic blood pressure by 10%-20% over baseline. SSI was classified into three subtypes: distal (dSSI), proximal (pSSI), and SSI with parental artery disease (SSIPAD; with stenosis at parental artery disease <50%). Responders were defined as patients who showed neurological improvement (decrease of ≥2 points in NIHSS, ≥1 motor point decrease) within one day after IHT initiation. Multivariable analysis identified factors associated with responders.

resultsCharacteristics were compared between responders and non-responders, and factors associated with response to IHT were investigated. Among 96 patients (mean age, 64.7±12.9 years; 61.5% male), 49 (51.0%) patients were categorized as responders. Multivariable analysis showed that pSSI (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=18.10, 95% confidence interval [CI] 5.04-80.60,

conclusionsResponse to IHT varied according to SSI subtypes and the severity of small vessel changes.
