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

Uric acid (UA) is an antioxidant with neuroprotective effects in experimental stroke models. Whether serum UA plays a role in hemorrhagic transformation (HT) remains unclear. We aimed to explore the association between serum UA and HT in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). AIS patients within 7 days after stroke onset were consecutively enrolled between January 2016 and October 2017. Patients were categorized into three groups according to serum UA tertiles by sex. HT was detected by follow-up CT or MRI within 7 days after admission. The multivariate logistic analysis was performed to assess the association of serum UA with HT. We included 1230 patients (mean age 64.1 years, 63.5% males) and 133 (10.8%) patients experienced HT. After adjusting confounders, patients in the second and third UA tertiles showed a significant decrease in HT compared with those in the lowest tertile (OR 0.432, 95% CI 0.266-0.702; OR 0.033, 95% CI 0.013-0.086, respectively). Similar results were observed for sex-based subgroups. Males with higher UA had lower risk of HT compared with the lowest UA tertile (OR 0.332, 95% CI 0.170-0.651; OR 0.008, 95% CI 0.001-0.070, respectively). In females, the highest UA tertile was inversely associated with HT (OR 0.148, 95% CI 0.058-0.376). Multiple-adjusted spline regression analyses further confirmed the dose-response relationship between UA levels and HT. Higher serum UA is independently associated with lower HT following stroke. More studies are needed to elucidate the potential neuroprotective mechanism of serum UA and its link to HT.
