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

aimThe impact of international normalized ratio (INR) on prognosis after acute ischemic stroke without anticoagulation therapy is unclear. Herein, the association between baseline INR and stroke outcomes in patients without anticoagulation therapy was investigated.

methodsA total of 14,782 ischemic stroke patients from the China National Stroke Registry Ⅱ were included in this analysis. The period of follow-up was 1 year after stroke onset. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to estimate the relationship between INR and stroke outcomes including all-cause death, recurrent stroke, composite end point, and poor functional outcome.

resultsOf 14,782 patients with stroke, all-cause death occurred in 1080 (7.3%), recurrence stroke in 538 (3.9%), combined end point in 1319 (8.9%), and poor functional outcome in 3001 (20.3%). Compared with the medium INR group (0.9-1.1), the odds ratios with confidence intervals of 95% for the high INR group (>1.1) were 1.58 (1.32-1.98) for all-cause death, 1.40 (1.10-1.79) for stroke recurrence, 1.52 (1.29-1.79) for combined end point, and 1.21 (1.06-1.39) for poor functional outcome. No association between low INR (<0.9) and any stroke outcomes was found compared with the medium group.

conclusionsIncreased admission INR was associated with adverse stroke outcomes among acute ischemic stroke patients without atrial fibrillation or anticoagulation therapy.
