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

Ischemic stroke (IS) is a major cause of mortality and disability. However, no reliable prognostic or diagnostic biomarker has been utilized to date. Here, we have evaluated the serum S100B concentration and miR-602 expression as potential biomarkers for IS. Fifty-two IS patients and 52 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers were enrolled. Blood samples were collected from all patients at the time of admission, 24 and 48 h later, at the time of discharge, and 3 months later. Real-time (RT) PCR was used to measure the serum level of miR602. We also measured the serum concentration of S100B using ELISA. As compared with healthy subjects, IS patients had a higher level of serum S100B and lower serum miR-602. ROC curve analyses revealed that miR-602 (AUC = 0.8168; P < 0.0001) and S100B (AUC = 0.8699; P < 0.0001) had acceptable ability to differentiate between IS patients from healthy subjects. Furthermore, serum S100B was a reliable predictor of the survival outcome at 3 months (P = 0.021). The expression of miR-602 was significantly higher in patients with bigger NIHSS scores. The lower levels of miR-602 and higher concentration of S100B in the sera of IS patients could be associated with clinically significant diagnostic utilities. S100B could be also introduced as a reliable prognostic marker for stroke and implemented in future research.
