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

STUDY

objectivesSleep disordered breathing (SDB) is a frequent comorbidity in stroke patients. SDB is one of the independent risk factors for ischemic stroke. Conversely, stroke may contribute to SDB onset or aggravate premorbid SDB. Multiple mechanisms underlying SDB might be responsible for the development of stroke. The aim of this study was to compare polysomnographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of wake-up (WUS) and non-wake-up acute ischemic strokes (NWUS).

methodsWe prospectively enrolled 88 patients with acute ischemic stroke. Clinical characteristics of the population were recorded on admission, and blood samples were obtained in the fasting condition following morning. SDB was assessed using standard overnight polysomnography in the acute phase of the stroke.

resultsWUS were present in 16 patients (18.2%), and NWUS in 72 patients (81.8%). In WUS compared to NWUS, we observed significantly higher values of apnea-hypopnea index (24.8 vs. 7.6, p = 0.007), desaturation index ([DI] 26.9 vs. 8.8, p = 0.005), arousal index (22.6 vs. 13.1, p = 0.035), diastolic blood pressure (91.6 mm Hg vs. 85.2 mm Hg, p = 0.039), triglyceride levels ([TG] 1.9 mmol/L vs. 1.2 mmol/L, p = 0.049), and significantly lower levels of D-dimer (0.4 μg/L vs. 0.7 μg/L, p = 0.035). DI (CI: 1.003-1.054, p = 0.031) and TG (CI: 1.002-1.877, p = 0.049) were the only independent variables significantly associated with WUS in binary logistic regression model.

conclusionsAlthough the design of our study does not prove the causal relationship between SDB and WUS, higher severity of SDB parameters in WUS supports this hypothesis. COMMENTARY: A commentary on this article appears in this issue on page 467.
