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 causal relationship between physical exercise and ischemic stroke recurrence using a multiple imputation approach based on the potential outcomes framework.

methodsWe collected data from 636 patients who were diagnosed with first-ever ischemic stroke between July, 2010 and December, 2018 at West China Hospital, Sichuan University.All the patients had motor ability and were followed up at least for 1 year.According to the intensity of physical exercise, the patients were divided into low-level physical exercise (LPE) group (

resultsAmong the enrolled patients, 148 experienced recurrent stroke with a median recurrence time of 24.0 months and a cumulative recurrence rate of 23.3%during follow-up.As there were no outliers and the marginal distributions of the potential outcomes were basically consistent, both the Strip plots and Kenel density plots indicated that the imputed values could have been plausible measurements if they had not been missing.The average causal effect (ACE) of physical exercise on stroke recurrence was 0.578 (95%

conclusionThere is a causal relationship between physical exercise and the risk of ischemic stroke recurrence, indicating the value of moderate or high-level exercise after stroke in reducing the risk of stroke recurrence.
