Tachycardia Changes Increase Neurological Deterioration in Patients with Acute Non-Cardioembolic Stroke: An ADS Post-Hoc Analysis.

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.
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
aimA previous randomized study showed that dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and cilostazol is not superior to aspirin monotherapy for patients with acute non-cardioembolic stroke; however, the reason for this remains uncertain. We focused on the unusual side effects of cilostazol, namely, tachycardia changes, and validated their influence on patients with acute non-cardioembolic stroke.
methodsThis post-hoc study extracted data from the acute aspirin plus cilostazol dual therapy study (ADS) registry, a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label trial. Patients were randomly allocated to the dual group (aspirin plus cilostazol) and the aspirin monotherapy group (aspirin alone). Tachycardia changes were defined as ≥ 5% heart rate increase at 48 h after admission compared with that at admission. Baseline data and outcomes were validated with four divided groups: aspirin-non-tachycardia changes (AN), aspirin-tachycardia changes (AT), dual-non-tachycardia changes (DN), and dual-tachycardia changes (DT).
resultsFinally, 1,188 patients were analyzed in this ADS post-hoc analysis (aspirin monotherapy group, 594; dual group, 594). The proportion of change in tachycardia was 19.2% in the aspirin monotherapy group and 38.2% in the dual group (p＜0.001
conclusionsTachycardia changes increase neurological deterioration even in patients with non-cardioembolic acute stroke. DAPT consisting of aspirin and cilostazol increases the proportion of tachycardia changes and is not superior to aspirin monotherapy.
