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

Antiplatelet agents have been administered to patients with acute ischemic stroke after endovascular therapy. This study was designed to provide initial data to compare thromboelastography (TEG) with the conventional coagulation test (CCT) to analyze the coagulation function of antiplatelet drugs in such patients.The present retrospective cohort study included 240 patients who received endovascular therapy from September 2012 to December 2017. The baseline and clinical characteristics of these patients were collected with respect to TEG (parameters: R, K, maximal amplitude (MA), and α angle) and CCT (parameters: PT, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen (FIB), international normalized ratio (INR), and platelet count (PLT)) on day 5 after aspirin and clopidogrel post-endovascular interventions. The correlation and agreement of these 2 detecting methods were analyzed. Additionally, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was used to analyze the effectiveness of these 2 methods in detecting unfavorable clinical outcomes, including symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and early neurological deterioration.The 3 pairs of parameters (R and APTT, K and APTT, and α angle and FIB) were in agreement for identifying hypercoagulability, while R and APTT, K and APTT, K and PLT, and α angle and PLT were in agreement for identifying hypocoagulability. The AUROC of parameter R for detecting symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage was 0.817, while that of parameter FIB for predicting early neurological deterioration was 0.887.Parameter FIB derived from CCT might be advantageous for evaluating early neurological deterioration, while parameter R detected by TEG might be superior for evaluating symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.
