The association of diabetes with ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attacks in a tertiary center in Saudi Arabia.
Article in Annals of Saudi medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundDiabetes mellitus increases stroke risk 1.5 to 3 fold, particularly ischemic stroke. There is limited literature on the impact of diabetes on stroke patients in Saudi Arabia.
objectivesDetermine the association of diabetes on the presentation, subtypes, in-hospital complications and outcomes of ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attacks (TIA).
designIRB approved, retrospective chart review.
settingTertiary care center. PATIENTS AND
methodsAll adult patients with ischemic stroke or TIA aged 18 years or older admitted from January 2016 to December 2017 were included.
main outcome measuresStroke severity at presentation, stroke-related complications, discharge disposition and discharge modified Rankin Scale (mRS) in relation to diabetes. SAMPLE SIZE: 802 patients.
resultsAmong 802 cases, 584 (72.8%) had diabetes; the majority (63.1%) were males. The mean age was younger in the non-diabetic stroke group (54.6 [15.5] years vs. 63.3 [9.9],
conclusionsAlmost three-fourth stroke patients were diabetic in our cohort. Diabetic stroke patients were older, had multiple vascular comorbid conditions, presented late to the hospital, and were likely to have more disability at the time of discharge. Large vessel atherosclerosis as well as lacunar infarctions were more common in diabetic stroke patients. LIMITATIONS: Missing data about time of presentation in few patients, missing modified Rankin Scale score at discharge. CONFLICT OF INTEREST: None.
