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

introductionThe prevalence of strokes is continuously growing in Africa. Morbidity and mortality related to this disease depend on patients management in the community and health care facilities (FOSAs). The purpose of this study was to describe the outcome and the therapeutic path of patients with stroke admitted to the Bafoussam Regional Hospital (BRH).

methodsWe conducted a cohort non-controlled study of patients who were diagnosed with stroke. Data were collected using two tools such as an anonymous questionnaire among patients or on their pre-hospital management and a grid for the collection of data on patient's outcome during hospitalization. Data were analyzed by describing the frequency distribution of the sources and types of supports solicited prior to and during hospitalization as well as that of patients' outcome at the end of hospitalization including the incidence of complications.

resultsA total of 46 patients were included in this study, with an average age of 62 years: 27(58.7%) were women and 37 (80.4%) were referred to other FOSAs. Four (8.7%) patients had taken products before their hospitalization; 2(4.3%) patients had taken a traditional product. Thirty-six (78.3%) patients had a cardiovascular history, of whom 22 with high blood pressure. Ten days after hospitalization, 32 (69.6%) patients resumed their autonomy and 5(10.9%) died.

conclusionFew patients used non-medical treatments before their arrival to hospital. Most of them underwent care in time, but the rate of hospital complications and deaths were high. A study should be conducted to determine the factors contributing to high rate of complications and death in patients hospitalized for stroke at the BRH.
