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

High blood pressure (BP) is frequent in acute ischemic stroke (IS). However, the impact of BP change patterns during acute phase on clinical outcomes is not conclusive. This study aims to investigate the association between the acute-phase BP trajectories and clinical outcomes in IS patients with high admission BP. The cohort consisted of 316 IS patients with admission systolic BP (SBP) ≥160 mm Hg. SBP trajectories during the first 7 days after onset were characterized using a random effects model. The patients were classified into three groups based on the SBP trajectory curve parameters: sustained high SBP (T1), moderate decrease (T2), and rapid decrease in SBP (T3). Poor outcomes were defined as modified Rankin scale score ≥3 in 3 months after onset. The relationship between SBP trajectory groups and the outcome was examined in multivariable logistic regression models. The decreasing trend was greater in the favorable than in the poor outcome group (P = 0.028 for difference in linear slopes). The incidence of poor outcomes was 25.9%, 13.5%, and 9.8% in T1 (n = 54), T2 (n = 170), and T3 (n = 92) groups, respectively. Compared with T1 group, the decrease in SBP in T2 and T3 groups was significantly associated with lower risk of the poor outcome (odds ratio = 0.25, 95% confidence interval = 0.10-0.67, P = 0.006). These findings suggest that a decrease in BP in the acute phase is predictive of favorable outcomes in IS patients. BP trajectories have a greater power to detect the association than individual BP values at one time-point.
