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

Cerebral infarction (CI) and intracerebral hemorrhage are lethal cerebrovascular diseases, sometimes sharing similar clinical manifestations but with distinct therapeutic strategies. Delayed treatment usually resulted in poor prognosis. A timely diagnosis report is highly warranted especially in emergency. One hundred twenty-nine CI patients, 73 intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients, and 98 controls were enrolled in this study. A direct injection mass spectrometry metabolomics approach was adopted using dried blood spot samples. This targeted metabolomics analysis focused on absolute quantitation of 23 amino acids, 26 carnitine/carnitine esters, and 22 calculated ratios parameters. Compared to the normal control group, CI and ICH showed distinct metabolite changes, respectively. For stroke differentiation, Tyr, C5-OH/C0, Cit, Asn, Pro, Val, Arg/Orn, Leu, and Val/Phe were elevated in the CI group. On the contrary, C5:1, Phe/Tyr, (C0 + C2 + C3 + C16 + C18:1)/Cit, and Met/Leu were of lower levels in the CI group. Using regression model based on some of the above-mentioned parameters, 79.07% of stroke patients from a new set could be definitely confirmed. This study proved the targeted metabolomics analysis was a promising tool for rapid and timely stroke differentiation.
