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

backgroundThis study aimed to explore the association of long non-coding RNA urothelial carcinoma-associated 1 (lncRNA UCA1) expression with disease severity, inflammation, and prognosis in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients.

methodsThe lncRNA UCA1 expression of blood CD4

resultsLncRNA UCA1 expression was higher in AIS patients compared to controls (p < 0.001), and it was positively correlated to national institute of health stroke scale score (r = 0.436, p < 0.001), Th17 cell ratio (r = 0.398, p < 0.001), IL-6 (r = 0.204, p = 0.010), IL-17 (r = 0.326, p < 0.001), and ICAM1 (r = 0.276, p < 0.001) in AIS patients. Regarding prognosis, lncRNA UCA1 expression was elevated in 2-year recurrence/death AIS patients compared to those patients without recurrence or death within 2 years (p = 0.033), also increased in 3-year recurrence/death AIS patients compared to those patients without recurrence or death within 3 years (p = 0.008). Furthermore, high lncRNA UCA1 expression was associated with worse accumulating RFS (p = 0.017) in AIS patients.

conclusionLncRNA UCA1 might sever as a candidate prognostic biomarker in AIS patients, suggesting its potency for AIS management.
