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

introductionAlthough functional recovery and survival after ischemic infarction seem to improve in patients with prior transient ischemic attack (TIA), little is known about the role of characteristics of prior TIA in subsequent cerebral infarction. Thus, the objective of this study was to explore how the characteristics of prior TIA have a neuroprotective effect on patients with ischemic stroke. MATERIAL AND

methodsA total of 221 patients admitted consecutively to a primary care center for first-ever ischemic stroke were divided into two groups on the basis of the presence or absence of prior TIAs. The initial NIHSS modified Rankin Scale was used to measure the severity and disability after the stroke. Subgroups were based on the TIA duration (< 10 min, 10 to 60 min, and > 60 min), TIA frequency (1 time, 2-3 times, more than 3 times), and the interval of stroke (< 1 week, 1-4 weeks, > 4 weeks). The severity of the neurologic picture on admission and functional disability after stroke were compared between patients with and without TIAs and subgroups as well.

resultsA total of 132 (59.73%) of the 221 patients had prior TIAs before stroke. Risk factors and the initial clinical picture did not differ between patients with or without TIAs. Patients with prior TIA had a more favorable outcome than those without TIA (59.09% vs. 43.82%), and a significant difference between the two groups was observed (χ² = 4.976,

conclusionsPrior transient ischemic attacks may have a neuroprotective effect on the subsequent ischemic stroke, and this effect might be affected by the characteristics of TIAs. Patients with TIAs of low frequency, short duration and short interval are considered to have better neurological outcomes.
