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 and purposeVarious types of cerebral small vessel diseases (CSVD) are commonly coexisting and the clinical outcome possibly is determined by their combined effect. The present study was designed to explore the possible relationship between the global burden of CSVD and clinical outcomes after recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) treatment of ischemic stroke.

methodsWe enrolled patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after IV rt-PA treatment between August 2016 and July 2018. According to the total burden rating scale of CSVD, we calculated the total CSVD score for white matter hyperintensities, lacunar infarction, cerebral microbleeds, and perivascular spaces. All patients were assessed on the basis of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 90 days after stroke. We used multivariate logistic regression analysis to examine the associations between global burden of CSVD and degree of neurological deficit and clinical outcomes. ROC curve analysis was used to determine cut-off values of the total CSVD score in predicting poor outcomes.

resultsThe results showed that the total CSVD score was independently associated with moderate to severe stroke (OR 2.187, 95%CI 1.495-3.119, P < 0.001). Initial NIHSS (OR 1.23, 95%CI 1.144-1.330, P < 0.001), OTT (OR 1.007, 95%CI 1.000-1.014, P = 0.037), and CSVD score (OR 3.157, 95%CI 2.120-4.703, P < 0.001) was significantly related to poor functional outcome at 3 months. The total CVSD score cut-off value of 1.5 was determined at best to distinguish between good prognosis and poor outcome (AUC 0.7534 [95%CI 0.6883-0.8185]).

conclusionsThe global burden of CSVD was independently associated with neurological deficit severity and clinical outcomes of AIS after IV rt-PA treatment. The total CVSD score is a reliable predictor for poor outcomes of AIS after IV rt-PA treatment.
