Correlation analysis between serum procalcitonin and infarct volume in young patients with acute cerebral infarction.
Article in Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
objectiveTo detect the serum procalcitonin (PCT) level and determine its relationship with the infarct volume in young patients with acute cerebral infarction.
methodsAccording to the infarct volume, young patients with acute cerebral infarction were divided into large group, intermediate group, and small group. The severity of clinical symptoms was determined according to the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score. Healthy young people were selected as the control group. Serum PCT levels were measured. The relationship among PCT, volume, and NIHSS score was analyzed.
resultsPCT in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group (t = 6.879, P = 0.011), and PCT in severe group was significantly higher than in mild group (t = 6.978, P = 0.016). PCT in large cerebral infarction group was higher than that in intermediate and small-size infarct group (P = 0.0036 and P < 0.0001, respectively), and PCT in intermediate cerebral infarction group was higher than that in small-size infarct group (P = 0.0024). In observation group, the PCT level was positively correlated with both NIHSS (r = 0.793, P = 0.022) and infarction volume (r = 0.649, P = 0.007).
conclusionThe level of PCT in young patients with acute cerebral infarction may be related to the inflammatory reaction of the cerebral artery and positively related to the volume of cerebral infarction and NIHSS score. To some extent, PCT concentration can predict the disease severity of acute cerebral infarction.
