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

objectiveTo identify predictors of young Chinese patients with ischaemic stroke outcome and recurrence of stroke.

designThrough considered the risk factors, neuroimaging findings, distribution, vascular stenosis, and the post-stroke treatment of young Chinese patients with ischemic stroke.

settingThe First Hospital of Jilin University.

participantsWe enrolled 579 patients (median age 45 years, range 15-49, men 81.0%) treated for the first occurrence of ischaemic stroke between January 2014 and December 2017.

main outcome measuresWe assessed stroke outcome based on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores and recurrence of cerebrovascular events at 12 months. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify the independent predictors of unfavourable outcomes (mRS score ≥2) and recurrence.

resultsWe observed stenosis in 295 patients (50.9%)-middle cerebral artery stenosis was the most common (18.1%). Of all 579 included patients, normal or mild, moderate and severe stenoses or occlusions were observed in 51.8%, 6.0% and 42.1% of patients, respectively. Unfavourable outcomes were observed in 91 patients (15.7%), including 10 patients (1.7%) who died. The rate of stroke recurrence was 7.9%. Independent predictors of unfavourable outcomes included a high National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (OR 1.151, 95% CI 1.094 to 1.210; p<0.001) and severe vascular stenosis or occlusion (OR 1.867, 95% CI 1.181 to 2.952; p=0.008). Predictors of recurrence included age of ≥45 years (OR 2.072, 95% CI 1.066 to 4.025; p=0.032) and atrial fibrillation (OR 15.207, 95% CI 4.273 to 54.120; p<0.001).

conclusionsOur research shows that when developing prevention strategies for young people, measures that focus on mitigating risk factors should be considered. In addition, vascular screening of young populations is also of vital importance for stroke prevention and poor prognosis prediction.
