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 investigate the value of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in predicting the clinical progression of perforator artery cerebral infarction.

methodsThe magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of patients with perforator artery cerebral infarction hospitalized in our hospital from October 2015 to February 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Then we compared the differences of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value, maximal size, location of cerebral infarction, clinical data and treatment plan between the two groups.

resultsA total of 81 patients with perforating artery cerebral infarction were included, with 33 patients in the progressive cerebral infarction (PCI) group and 48 patients in the non-progressive cerebral infarction (NPCI) group. The ADC value in the progressive group was lower than that in the non-progressive group (P < 0.001), and ADC value was an independent factor influencing the clinical progression (OR = 0.974, 95 %CI = 0.960-0.989, P = 0.001); The average area of cerebral infarction in the progressive group was larger than that in the non-progressive group (P = 0.004). There was no difference between the two groups (P > 0.05) in terms of clinical data and treatment plan.

conclusionsThe ADC value and maximal size of infarction were correlated with the clinical Progression. ADC value was an independent factor influencing the clinical progression of perforating artery cerebral infarction, which could be used for the prediction of clinical progress and provide guidance for the development of individualized treatment.
