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

Our meta-analysis was designed to obtain the correlation between thrombomodulin (TM) and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels and the development of cerebral infarction (CI). Case-control studies relevant to the role plasma TM levels and serum hs-CRP levels in the development of CI were retrieved both electronically and manually and further screened according to a predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. All enrolled studies were analyzed for meta-regression analyses, sensitivity analyses, and assessments of publication bias. Comprehensive Meta-analysis 2.0 software (CMA 2.0) was used for statistical analysis. A total of 359 studies were initially retrieved, and 13 studies were eventually recruited into our meta-analysis with a total of 881 CI patients (plasma TM levels: n = 513; serum hs-CRP levels: n = 368) and 1067 healthy controls. The results of our meta-analysis suggested that plasma TM levels and serum hs-CRP levels in CI patients were significantly higher than those in healthy controls. In conclusion, increased plasma TM levels and serum hs-CRP levels in CI patients were associated with the development of CI in Asians.
