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

backgroundT helper (Th) cells regulate immunity and inflammation to engage in cognitive impairment in several neurological diseases, while their clinical relevance in stroke patients is not clear. The current study intended to assess the relationship of Th1 cells, Th17 cells, interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), and interleukin (IL)-17A with cognitive function in stroke patients.

methodsOne hundred twenty stroke patients and 40 controls were enrolled in this muticenter study. Th1 and Th17 cells in peripheral blood were assessed by flow cytometry; meanwhile, IFN-γ and IL-17A in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Cognitive function of stroke patients was evaluated by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score at enrollment (baseline), year 1, year 2, and year 3.

resultsTh1 cells (p = 0.037) and IFN-γ (p = 0.048) were slightly increased, while Th17 cells (p < 0.001) and IL-17A (p < 0.001) were greatly elevated in stroke patients compared with controls. Th17 cells (r

conclusionTh17 cells and IL-17A estimate the progression of cognitive impairment in stroke patients.
