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 study the clinical curative effect of compound Danshen injection on acute cerebral infarction (ACI) patients and its impact on the CRP, D-dimer, and IL-6 levels.

methods116 patients with ACI admitted to our hospital were randomly placed in an observation group (n=58) or a control group (n=58). The control group received rosuvastatin tablets (10 mg/time, qd) in addition to the standard treatment. The observation group received compound Danshen injection in addition to the standard treatment. The treatment continued for 21 days. The clinical treatment efficacy, the CRP, D-dimer, and IL-6 levels, the NIHSS scores (to evaluate the degree of neurological impairment), the Fugl-Meyer scores (to access patients' motor function), the ADL scores, the sleep quality (the PSQI and AIS scores), and the complication incidence rates were compared between the two groups.

resultsAfter the treatment, the effective rate in the observation group (89.66%) was significantly higher than it was in the control group (74.14%) (P<0.05). After the treatment, the serum CRP, D-dimer, and IL-6 levels in the two groups were lower than they were before the treatment, and the levels were lower in the observation group than they were in the control group (all P<0.05). After the treatment, the NIHSS scores in the observation group were lower than they were in the control group, and the Fugl-Meyer and ADL scores were higher than they were in the control group (all P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the PSQI and AIS scores in the observation group were lower than they were in the control group after the treatment (P<0.05). The severe diarrhea, bedsore, urinary tract infection, liver and kidney function injury, skin allergic reactions and other total adverse reaction incidence rates in the observation group were lower than they were in the control group.

conclusionRosuvastatin combined with compound Danshen injection is effective in ACI treatment. It is able to effectively improve the clinical symptoms, reduce the incidence of complications, improve the recovery of the IL-6, CRP, and D-dimer levels and enhance patients' sleep quality.
