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

objectiveTo explore the changes and significance of serum CXC chemokine ligand 16 (CXCL-16), growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) and lipoprotein-related phospholipase A2 (PLA-2) levels in patients with cerebral infarction.

methodsA total of 87 patients with cerebral infarction between August 2019 and May 2020 in our hospital were selected as the disease group, and 50 healthy patients were selected as the healthy control group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect serum CXCL-16, GDF-15, PLA-2 expression levels in all subjects. A comprehensive evaluation was made in terms of changes of various indicator levels in patients while the changes of CXCL-16, GDF-15, PLA-2 in patients with cerebral infarction after effective treatment were monitored.

resultsCompared with the healthy group, the expression levels of serum CXCL-16, GDF-15 and PLA-2 in the disease group were up-regulated (

conclusionSerum CXCL-16, GDF-15, PLA-2 in patients with cerebral infarction were all highly expressed and changed with the disease severity, which can be used as reliable indicators for monitoring the incidence, severity, and prognosis of cerebral infarction.
