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

Purpose: Despite receiving standard-of-care treatments, a significant proportion of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are left with long-term functional impairment. Therefore, an easy-to-use tool for predicting of unfavorable outcome following AIS plays an important role in clinical practice. This study was aimed to develop a dynamic nomogram to predict the 3-month unfavorable outcome for AIS patients. Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted in consecutive patients with AIS admitted to our stroke center between September 2019 and June 2020. Baseline demographic, clinical, and laboratory information were obtained. The primary outcome was evaluated with modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores at 3 months. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression was used to select the optimal predictive factors. Multiple logistics regression was performed to establish the nomogram. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was applied to assess the clinical utility of the nomogram. The calibration and discrimination property of the nomogram was validated by calibration plots and concordance index. Results: A total of 93 eligible patients were enrolled: 28 (30.1%) patients had unfavorable outcome (mRS >2). Glycosylated hemoglobin (OR, 1.541; 95% CI, 1.051-2.261), the Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) (OR, 0.635; 95% CI, 0.463-0.871), and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) (OR 1.484; 95% CI, 1.155-1.907) were significant predictors of the poor outcome of patients with AIS and included into the nomogram model. The nomogram showed good calibration and discrimination. C-index was 0.891 (95% CI, 0.854-0.928). DCA confirmed the clinical usefulness of the model. The dynamic nomogram can be obtained at the website: https://odywong.shinyapps.io/DBT_21/. Conclusion: The dynamic nomogram, comprised of glycosylated hemoglobin, ASPECTS, and NIHSS score at day 14, may be able to predict the 3-month unfavorable outcome for AIS patients.
