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

backgroundApproximately one-third of stroke survivors suffer from post-stroke depression (PSD) in the acute or chronic stages. The presence of PSD in the acute stage after stroke is reportedly associated with poor patient prognosis; therefore, early recognition and treatment of PSD may alleviate these consequences. The aim of the current study was to examine the relationship between the lesion location and the presence of early depressive symptoms after acute ischemic stroke in Japanese patients.

methodsOur study included 421 patients who suffered from acute ischemic stroke. On the day of admission, the lesion location was determined using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Stroke severity was measured on the seventh day of hospitalization withat the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). On the tenth day of hospitalization, depressive symptoms were measured and functional assessments were performed with the Japan Stroke Scale (Depression Scale) (JSS-D) and functional independence measure (FIM), respectively.

resultsA total of 71 subjects (16.9 %) were diagnosed with depression. According to the multiple logistic regression analysis, the infarcts located at frontal and temporal lobes were found to be a significant independent risk factor of early depressive symptoms in the acute stage of stroke.

conclusionsPatients suffering from acute ischemic stroke, particularly in the frontal and temporal lobes, should be carefully assessed to detect and treat early depressive symptoms; such treatment may improve patient outcomes.
