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

backgroundThe platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is an inflammation marker of acute ischemic stroke, but its significance in patients with hemorrhage transformation (HT) after acute ischemic stroke with large-artery atherosclerosis (AIS-LAA) is unclear, and we also identified the relationship between PLR and in-hospital mortality of HT after AIS-LAA.

methodsThis was a retrospective analysis of patients with AIS-LAA. The PLR was calculated according to platelet and lymphocyte counts on admission. HT was defined on follow-up magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography when neurologic deterioration worsened during hospitalization. The univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were performed to assess the association of PLR, HT and in-hospital mortality of HT after AIS-LAA.

resultsWe included 328 Chinese AIS-LAA patients (mean age 67.2±11.1 years; 70.4% male). HT occurred in 38 patients (11.6%). After multivariate regression analyses, NRL (odds ratio [OR] 1.354, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.176-1.559, P<0.001) and PLR (odds ratio [OR] 3.869, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.233-5.702, P<0.001) were independently associated with HT after AIS-LAA. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) value of PLR (0.72, 95% CI (0.64-0.80), P<0.001) tested a greater discriminatory ability compared with neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (0.67, 95% CI (0.58-0.76), P<0.001). Meanwhile, PLR was found to be significantly related to HT after AIS-LAA, including in subtypes of artery-to-artery embolization (aOR 1.699, 95% CI 1.298-3.215, P<0.001), in-situ thrombosis (aOR4.499, 95% CI 1.344-9.054, P<0.001) and branch atheromatous disease (aOR3.239, 95% CI 1.098-8.354, P<0.001). Increased PLR predicts high in-hospital mortality of HT after AIS-LAA (OR 1.041, 95% CI (1.006-1.077), P=0.020; aOR 1.053, 95% CI (1.004-1.104), P=0.034).

conclusionHigh PLR is associated with greater risk of HT in AIS-LAA patients, including in artery-to-artery embolization, in-situ thrombosis and branch atheromatous disease. Meanwhile, increased PLR predicts high in-hospital mortality of HT after AIS-LAA.
