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

backgroundAcute ischemic stroke (CIS) is a high-risk condition among the elderly, and intravenous thrombolytic therapy (ITT) is the most effective means for it. However, ITT is prone to induce hemorrhagic transformation (HT) that further threatens the life and health of patients. As paramount substances in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, adipocyte factor (Apelin) and serine protease inhibitor (Vaspin) are strongly bound up with CIS.

objectiveTo analyze the predictive significance of Apelin and Vaspin on HT in CIS patients after ITT and offer effective reference to HT prevention in the future.

methodsA total of 109 CIS patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis (IT) in two hospitals between June 2017 and February 2018 were enrolled. Among them, 48 patients who suffered HT after therapy were assigned to the research group (Res group) and the other 61 patients who did not suffer it after therapy were assigned to the control group (Con group). Serum Apelin, Vaspin, inflammatory factors, and oxidative stress levels were quantified, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn for analyzing the predictive value of Apelin and Vaspin on HT after ITT and their associations with inflammatory factors and oxidative stress. CIS patients who suffered HT were followed up for 3 years for prognostic significance analysis of Apelin and Vaspin.

resultsAfter ITT, the Res group showed lower Apelin and Vaspin levels than the Con group (all

conclusionApelin and Vaspin can help effectively forecast the occurrence of HT in CIS patients after ITT as independent protective factors of HT, so they are of a high clinical application value.
