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

backgroundInflammatory responses are correlated with secondary brain injury after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a novel biomarker reflecting inflammation status, and its elevated circulating levels are associated with poor prognosis of some inflammatory diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between Gal-3 plasma levels and prognosis in a group of aSAH patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe assessed plasma Gal-3 levels in 120 patients and 120 healthy individuals. 6-month clinical outcomes included mortality and unfavorable outcome (Glasgow Outcome Scale score of 1-3). Associations of plasma Gal-3 levels with clinical outcomes were investigated using multivariate analysis.

resultsPatients showed significantly higher Gal-3 levels as compared to controls. Circulating Gal-3 was significantly and independently associated with 6-month clinical outcomes in the logistic regression analysis. Moreover, we observed a significant correlation between circulating Gal-3 and World Federation of Neurological Surgeons scores and modified Fisher scores. Furthermore, Gal-3 possessed high area under receiver operating characteristic curve for prognostic assessment.

conclusionOur findings indicate the associations between Gal-3 levels and the severity and poor prognosis following aSAH. This suggests the possible role of Gal-3 in the prognostic prediction after aSAH.
