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

backgroundThere is a lack of epidemiological analysis of patients with cerebral infarction in northwest China. In the present investigation, we conducted a retrospective analysis to collect information on epidemiological characteristics of patients with cerebral infarction in five provinces of northwest China and the Shanxi Province of patients who were hospitalized in the Tangdu Hospital. This project should provide a scientific basis for active prevention and treatment of cerebral infarction. MATERIAL AND

methodsA retrospective analysis of patients with epidemic characteristics of cerebral infarction that were admitted to the Tangdu Hospital of northwest China from January 2009 to December 2018.

resultsA total of 18,302 patients (aged 1-97 years) with confirmed cerebral infarction, including 12,201 males and 6,101 females, were retrospectively enrolled in this study. The most common lesion site was the cerebellum (51.5%). The incidence of cerebral infarction was slightly higher in workers and laborers, favoring male patients and those aged 40-70 years. The difference between men and women gradually increased after the age of 30.

conclusionsIn this study, 18,302 hospitalized patients with cerebral infarction from different occupations were included. Those engaged in physical labor were more likely to have a cerebral infarction. The incidence of cerebral infarction in males was higher than in females. Cerebellar and cerebral area infarctions were the most common.
