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

objectivesTo determine the frequency, risk factors, and outcomes of Early seizure (ES) after stroke in a Saudi cohort.

methodsA retrospective study was conducted in King Abdulaziz Medical City, Riyadh, KSA. All stroke patients whether they had first or recurrent stroke were included from February 2016 to December 2017. Data were analyzed using the SAS software version 9.4.

resultsOut of 665 patients, 456 (68.6%) were males and 564 (85.2%) were Saudis; the cohort's mean age was 60.6±12.6 years. Fifty-one (7.7%) patients had ES, which were more common in women (

conclusionThe ES after stroke were common in our cohort. Increased stroke severity and confusion were independent predictors of ES. The ES were associated with higher rates of in-hospital complications, longer length of hospital stay, and worse outcomes at discharge.
