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 explore the associations of piracetam use and the clinical characteristics of NIHSS (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale) changes-the importance of which, as prognosis related factors, was previously unnoticed-and analyze the associations of piracetem with NIHSS changes by stratifying clinical characteristics. This observational retrospective study was conducted by enrolling patients based on 2483 stroke registration data cohorts from a 1200-bed regional Tungs' Taichung MetroHarbor Hospital, located in central Taiwan from 1 January 1 2011 to 31 December 2015. Patients were excluded if they had intravenous a thrombolytic agent within 3 hours of symptoms onset (
