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

background and purposeEarly neurological deterioration (END) is not uncommon in acute single small subcortical infarct (SSSI), especially in those with parental arterial disease (PAD). The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effect of BP variability on the development of END as well as functional outcome at 90 days in SSSI and to determine whether the effect is linked to the status of parent artery.

methodsConsecutive patients with acute SSSI were prospectively recruited from the First People's Hospital of Yangzhou between Aug 2013 and Jul 2016. END was defined as an NIHSS score increased ≥ 2 during the first 72 h compared with the initial NIHSS score. Functional outcome at 90 days after onset was assessed using the modified Rankin Score (mRS) and dichotomized as good (0-2) and poor (≥ 3). During this period, the parameters of BP variability such as BP

resultsA total of 296 patients were included in the analysis. Of these, 30 (38.5%) SSSI associated with PAD and 53 (24.3%) without developed END respectively. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that SBP

conclusionsOur study demonstrated that the acute in-hospital BP variability was associated with the development of END in patients with acute SSSI. However, its impact varies depending on the status of parent artery.
