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

introductionThis study was to test whether the serum levels of IL-33 and sST2 are correlated with the development of depression after acute ischemic stroke.

methodsPatients diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke were selected. This study took the 24-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) (score ≥20) as the diagnostic criteria for depression. On the 21st day after admission, patients who met the depression diagnostic criteria were included in the depression group, and patients who failed to meet the diagnostic criteria were included in the non-depression group. The serum levels of IL-33, sST2 and hsCRP were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

resultsOn 1st day after stroke, compared with the non-depression group, there was no significant difference in the serum IL-33, sST2 and hsCRP levels in the depression group; on 21st day after stroke, compared with the non-depression group, the serum IL-33 and hsCRP levels were significantly increased, while the sST2 level was significantly decreased in the depression group. Correlation analysis showed that IL-33 was positively correlated with the depression quantitative score and hsCRP, while sST2 was negatively correlated with the depression quantitative score and hsCRP. Regression analysis showed that IL-33 and sST2 were independent risk factors for the depression after acute ischemic stroke. DISCUSSION: The abnormal alterations of serum IL-33 and sST2 levels in the stroke patients may serve as one of the risk factors for the occurrence and exacerbation of the depression, and its mechanism may be related to the promotion of inflammatory factor production in vivo.
