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

The aim of our study was to examine gender differences of LDL- and HDL-cholesterol subfractions in patients after the acute ischemic stroke with focus on small LDL and HDL subfractions, and their association with oxidative stress markers. In addition, we have monitored the 7-day effect of cholesterol-lowering drugs administered to patients after the acute ischemic stroke, on these subfractions. Eighty two stroke patients and 81 age matched controls were included in this study. Blood was collected from patients within 24 h after the stroke (group A) and re-examined at the 7-day follow-up (group B). We have found gender differences in LDL- and HDL-subfractions in stroke patients, lipid-lowering drugs administered to acute ischemic stroke patients significantly reduced all measured parameters of lipoprotein profile. In the group A LDL1 subfraction positively correlated with activity of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase) indicating a protective role of this subfraction. On the contrary, small HDL subfractions positively correlated with lipoperoxide levels and negatively with trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity in plasma suggesting a negative role of these subfractions. In this work we have confirmed the hypothesis of atherogenic properties of small HDL subfractions and anti-atherogenic properties of large LDL1-subfractions.
