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

Growing evidence has suggested that hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is a risk factor for cerebral infarction. However, the effect of HHcy on postoperative cerebral ischemia is still unclear. We aim to investigate the relationship between HHcy and postoperative ischemia of adult patients with moyamoya disease (MMD). A total of 138 adult patients with MMD were prospectively recruited from July 1 to December 31, 2019. After excluding 14 patients accepting conservative therapy, all 124 patients who underwent surgical treatment were enrolled. Patients were grouped according to postoperative ischemia and HHcy presentation, respectively. Clinical data and laboratory examinations were compared by statistical analyses. Potential risk factors were evaluated by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Comparing to the normal, patients with postoperative ischemia were higher in serum homocysteine (Hcy) level (P = 0.039) and HHcy ratio (P = 0.035). Furthermore, HHcy was more common in males (P = 0.007) than females. Logistic analysis results showed that HHcy (OR 5.234, 95% CI 1.127-24.315; P = 0.035) was an independent risk factor. HHcy was significantly associated with postoperative ischemia in MMD patients. Our study found that HHcy was correlated to the risk of postoperative ischemia. HHcy can be used as an indicator and a potential therapeutic target for postoperative ischemia in adult patients with MMD. URL: http://www.chictr.org . Unique identifier: ChiCTR2000031412.
