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 relevance of LP(a), Hcy, and D-D in ischemic cerebrovascular disease remains undefined. This study aimed to assess the associations of plasma LP(a), Hcy and D-D levels with the subtype of ischemic cerebrovascular disease.Patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease admitted to the Taixing People's Hospital were retrospectively enrolled from November 2017 to July 2018. Immunoturbidimetry was used to assess 119 LAA, 107 SAO, and 112 TIA patients for plasma LP(a), Hcy, and D-D levels.Plasma LP(a), Hcy, and D-D levels in the large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) group were significantly lower than those of the transient ischemic attack (TIA) group (all P < .05). LP(a), Hcy, and D-D levels were significantly reduced in the SAO group compared with the TIA group (both P < .05). The LAA and SAO groups showed comparable values for all the above parameters (P > .05).LP(a), Hcy, and D-D levels differ according to the subtype of ischemic cerebrovascular disease.
