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

backgroundPost-stroke infections occur in 20-36% of stroke patients and are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Early identification of patients at risk of developing an infection could improve care via an earlier treatment leading to a better outcome. We used proteomic tools in order to discover biomarkers able to stratify patients at risk of post-stroke infection.

methodsThe post hoc analysis of a prospective cohort study including 40 ischemic stroke patients included 21 infected and 19 non-infected participants. A quantitative, isobaric labeling, proteomic strategy was applied to the plasma samples of 5 infected and 5 non-infected patients in order to highlight any significantly modulated proteins. A parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) assay was applied to 20 additional patients (10 infected and 10 non-infected) to verify discovery results. The most promising protein was pre-validated using an ELISA immunoassay on 40 patients and at different time points after stroke onset.

resultsTandem mass analysis identified 266 proteins, of which only serum amyloid A (SAA1/2) was significantly (

conclusionsThe present study demonstrated that SAA1/2 is a promising predictor, at hospital admission, of stroke patients at risk of developing an infection. Further large, multicenter validation studies are needed to confirm these results. If confirmed, SAA1/2 concentrations could be used to identify the patients most at risk of post-stroke infections and therefore implement treatments more rapidly, thus reducing mortality.
