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

This study aimed to study the value of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OX-LDL) and related ratio in the diagnosis of acute cerebral infarction and the classification of acute cerebral infarction.Of the 129 patients enrolled in this study, 94 patients with acute cerebral infarction were assigned to the case group, and 35 healthy subjects were enrolled as control group (n = 35). And then the case group were divided into large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA) group (n = 61) and small-artery occlusion (SAO) group (n = 33) according to the TOAST classification standard. Plasma OX-LDL levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. OX-LDL/total cholesterol (OX-LDL/TC), OX-LDL/high-density lipoprotein (OX-LDL/HDL), OX-LDL/LDL were calculated.There were significant differences in OX-LDL, OX-LDL/TC, OX-LDL/HDL, and OX-LDL/LDL in patients with acute cerebral infarction and those in control group (P < .001). The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve of OX-LDL and related ratio was >0.7 (P < .001). There was a slight positive correlation between OX-LDL/TC and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score at admission (r = 0.265, P = .039) in the LAA group.OX-LDL, OX-LDL/TC, OX-LDL/HDL, and OX-LDL/LDL were closely related to acute cerebral infarction, especially with large atherosclerotic cerebral infarction. OX-LDL/TC can reflect the severity of acute cerebral infarction for LAA, but it cannot predict the short-term prognosis of acute cerebral infarction.
