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

backgroundAcute cerebral infarction (ACI) is seriously harmful to human health worldwide. However, at present, the risk of disease onset is still not accurately predicted for some people.

methodsFive hundred and nineteen patients with ACI and 300 healthy controls were included in this study. We divided the patients into three groups according to the results of cervical artery contrast-enhanced ultrasound. Ninety-five patients were in the CAS without plaque group, 108 patients were in the stable plaque group, and 316 patients were in the unstable plaque group. TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, and sdLDL-C were measured in all subjects.

resultsThe level of small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (sdLDL-C) in the ACI group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that sdLDL-C was an independent risk factor for ACI (OR = 1.067, 95% CI: 1.041-1.093, P < 0.001); serum sdLDL-C was significantly higher in the unstable plaque group than in the stable plaque group and plaque-free group (P < 0.05, P < 0.001); serum sdLDL-C was also higher in the stable plaque group than the plaque-free group (P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that sdLDL-C was an independent risk factor for unstable carotid plaques (OR = 1.053, 95% CI: 1.038-1.068, P < 0.001); Spearman correlation analysis showed that sdLDL-C test results were positively correlated with carotid plaque stability (r = 0.363, P < 0.001).

conclusionSmall dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol is an independent risk factor for the onset of ACI and may be an early serum marker for this disease.
