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

objectivesAcute ischemic stroke in cancer patients is uncommon. The study was aimed to identify the relationship of patients' characteristics and the interval time between the diagnosis of stroke and cancer.

methodsThe clinical features of acute ischemic stroke patients with cancer were retrospectively analyzed from May, 2016 to April, 2021. Categorical data was compared between groups using chi-square test. Hematological biomarkers were compared using Mann-Whitney U test.

resultsA total of 70 acute ischemic stroke patients with cancer were identified. The median interval time between the diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke and cancer was 53.0 months. Patients with interval < 53.0 months and > 53.0 months were regarded the short interval group and the long interval group, respectively. Between the short and long interval groups, there was no significant differences in respect to sex, age, chemotherapy, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, atrial fibrillation and dyslipidemia. The medians of homocysteine, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and fibrinogen were also not significantly different between the two different interval groups. D-dimer in the short interval group was higher than that in the long interval group (216 vs. 142 ng/mL, p = 0.037). The long interval group had more surgery for cancer than the short interval group (94.3% vs. 57.1%, p = 0.000).

conclusionIn conclusion, in patients with ischemic stroke and cancer, patients with short interval time between the diagnosis of ischemic stroke and cancer had higher D-dimer than patients with long interval time.
