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 The aim of this study was to analyze the changing role of thrombelastography (TEG) by detecting the indexes of TEG in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction, combined with pathogenesis, and to find objective laboratory indexes for the diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data from 150 patients were collected, including 69 cases identified as the cerebral infarction group and 81 cases identified as the cerebral hemorrhage group. In addition, 50 healthy adults were selected as a control group. The cerebral hemorrhage group was divided into 3 subgroups according to the amount of bleeding: small hemorrhage group, moderate hemorrhage group, and large hemorrhage group. The diagnosis for each participant was mainly based on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). TEG indexes [R value (coagulation reaction time), K value (coagulation time), Angle (reflecting the formation rate of blood clot and the function of fibrinogen), MA (maximum thrombus amplitude), CI (coagulation index)] were measured by TEG YZ5000 instrument. RESULTS The cerebral infarction group had lower R and K values and higher Angle and CI (P<0.05). The cerebral hemorrhage group had higher K value; the Angle and MA were lower in the moderate hemorrhage group and in the large hemorrhage groups (P<0.05). In the cerebral hemorrhage group, Angle and MA were negatively correlated with the amount of cerebral hemorrhage (r=-0.475, -0.394 respectively, P<0.05), and the K value was positively correlated with the amount of cerebral hemorrhage (r=0.337, P<0.05), while the R value had no significant correlation with the amount of cerebral hemorrhage (r=0.251, P>0.05). R and K values in the cerebral infarction group were significantly lower, while Angle, MA, and CI were significantly higher in the cerebral hemorrhage group. CONCLUSIONS K value, Angle, and MA may be of value in the assessment of the amount of cerebral hemorrhage.
