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

backgroundGlycemic variability (GV) is a risk factor for poor outcomes after ischemic stroke. However, its effect on hemorrhagic transformation after endovascular recanalization therapy (ERT) remains to be elucidated.

methodsPatients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion with successful recanalization after ERT (modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction 2b or 3) were enrolled between January 2013 and November 2019. Blood glucose level data were obtained during the first 36 h after ERT, and ten GV parameters including time rate (TR) of glucose variation were assessed. The TR of glucose variation reflects the speed of glucose fluctuations over time (mg/dL/hour) during the monitoring period. Symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) and unfavorable outcomes at 3 months after ERT were analyzed. The sICH was defined as parenchymal hematoma type 2 with a neurological deterioration of 4 points or more on the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale. Moreover, a modified Rankin Scale of 3-6 at 3 months was considered an unfavorable outcome.

resultsAmong all patients (n = 176; mean age, 69.3 years; 47.7 % female), sICH developed after successful ERT in 16 (9.1%) patients. In addition, 54% (n = 95) patients had an unfavorable outcome at 3 months. Patients with sICH and unfavorable outcome had higher the TR of glucose variation. After adjusting for potential confounders, the TR of glucose (per 1 mg/dL/h increase) variation was independently associated with sICH (odds ratio, 1.17; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.012-1.343) and 3-month unfavorable outcome (OR 1.14, 95% CI, 1.000-1.297).

conclusionsTime-related GV during the first 36 h after successful ERT has a stronger correlation with sICH and poor functional outcomes compared to any GV parameters. This suggests that maintaining stable glucose may be an important factor in the prevention of sICH after undergoing successful ERT.
