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

backgroundIn Egypt, circulatory system diseases are responsible for one-third of the annual deaths. Stroke comes 3rd after heart diseases and liver diseases. Stroke includes two types: ischemic and hemorrhagic. The sirtuins (SIRTs) are a family of histone deacetylases that are nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)

objectivesTo measure the plasma levels of SIRT1 in acute cerebrovascular stroke, to assess its role as a possible biomarker in predicting the risk of acute cerebrovascular stroke, to compare its levels between the two groups of stroke patients, and to evaluate the association between its levels and the severity of stroke. Also, to assess the correlations between the plasma SIRT1 levels and the variables that might play a role in the severity of acute cerebrovascular stroke.

methodsThis is a case-control study carried out on one hundred and eight participants. The participants were divided into two groups: group A (control group) included fifty-four individuals. Group B (acute cerebrovascular stroke group) included fifty-four stroke patients of two subgroups: B1: twenty-eight patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke and B2: twenty-six patients suffering from acute hemorrhagic stroke. Measurement of the plasma levels of SIRT1 was performed using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

resultsRegarding SIRT1 levels, acute stroke groups were significantly lower than the control group with no significant difference between ischemic and hemorrhagic groups. There were positive correlations between SIRT1 levels and each of the hemoglobin levels and serum potassium levels. There were negative correlations between SIRT1 levels and each of triglycerides (TG) and stroke score.

conclusionPlasma levels of SIRT1 are lower in patients with acute cerebrovascular stroke than in control. Furthermore, SIRT1 may act as a possible biomarker for predicting the risk of acute cerebrovascular stroke.
