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

Background: Rapid recognition of acute stroke and large vessel occlusion (LVO) is essential in prehospital triage for timely reperfusion treatment. Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate a new screening tool for both stroke and LVO in an urban Chinese population. Methods: This study included patients with suspected stroke who were transferred to our hospital by emergency medical services between July 2017 and June 2021. The population was randomly partitioned into training (70%) and validation (30%) groups. The Staring-Hypertension-atrIal fibrillation-sPeech-weakneSs (SHIPS) scale, consisting of both clinical and medical history information, was generated based on multivariate logistic models. The predictive ability of the SHIPS scale was evaluated and compared with other scales using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve comparison analysis. Results: A total of 400 patients were included in this analysis. In the training group ( Conclusion: The SHIPS scale may serve as a superior screening tool for stroke and LVO identification in prehospital triage. Including medical history in the SHIPS scale improves the predictive value compared with clinical symptoms alone.
