Association between metabolic syndrome and multiple lesions of intracranial atherothrombotic stroke: a hospital-based study.
Article in Cardiovascular diabetology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundWith the increasing trend of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and atherothrombotic stroke (which can manifest as stroke lesion multiplicity), studies on the association between MetS and the clinical aspects of atherothrombotic stroke are of great interest. The present study aimed to investigate the association between MetS and multiple atherothrombotic strokes in patients with intracranial atherothrombotic stroke.
methodsA retrospective study based on medical charts was conducted among patients (n = 202: 137 men/65 women) who were symptomatically admitted to the hospital with the first-ever atherothrombotic stroke. For the occurrence of multiple lesions of stroke, odds ratio [OR: 95% confidence interval (CI)] of MetS or its respective components was calculated using logistic regression models.
resultsFifty-one percent of the men and 38% of women with stroke presented multiple regions. MetS was a significant factor that was associated with an increased risk of multiple regions in women [OR 4.3 (95% CI 1.4-13.5)], but not in men. According to the components of MetS, dyslipidemia was a significant factor that was positively associated with multiple regions in both men [OR 2.0 (95% CI 1.1-3.7)] and women [OR 3.2 (95% CI 1.1-9.1)].
conclusionMetS may be pathophysiologically associated with intracranial atherothrombotic stroke multiplicity in women in particular. Future studies are warranted to confirm the findings.
