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

purposeTo investigate the associations among homocysteine (Hcy), inflammation and cognitive impairment in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and transient ischemic attack (TIA). PATIENTS AND

methodsPatients included were enrolled from a subgroup of China National Stroke Registry-III (CNSR-III). We used a Chinese version of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) to screen for cognitive impairment. We used high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) level to reflect the inflammatory status, which was assessed at baseline together with Hcy concentration. The primary outcome was the incidence of post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) at 3 months after AIS and TIA. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between Hcy and hsCRP, and their effects on cognition.

resultsWe enrolled 1466 patients with a median age of 62 (54-70) years old, including 895 (61.05%) patients with elevated Hcy levels, 466 (31.79%) with increased hsCRP concentrations, and 755 (51.50%) with PSCI. In the group of patients with hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy), higher hsCRP levels were related to cognitive impairment, whether or not adjusted for multiple potential confounders (crude OR: 1.71,95% CI: 1.29-2.27, p < 0.01; adjusted OR: 1.42, 95% CI: 1.04-1.93, p = 0.03). No significant interactions for the impact on PSCI were observed in subgroups stratified by age, sex or Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) classification (P interaction > 0.05 for all).

conclusionHigh inflammatory levels increase the risk of cognitive impairment in HHcy patients after AIS and TIA.
