Serum Prealbumin Levels on Admission as a Prognostic Marker in Stroke Patients Treated with Mechanical Thrombectomy.
Article in Cerebrovascular diseases extra, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
introductionPrealbumin is a marker of malnutrition and inflammation. It has been associated with poor prognosis in cardiovascular disease, but less is known in stroke patients. Our objective was to evaluate the association of prealbumin levels at admission with prognosis in patients with stroke treated with mechanical thrombectomy.
methodsRetrospective study of a prospective database of consecutive patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy. Clinical, radiological, and blood parameters including serum prealbumin, and prognostic variables such as respiratory infection, in-hospital mortality, and the modified Rankin scale at 3 months were collected.
resultsWe included 319 patients between 2018 and 2019. Prealbumin levels were significantly lower in patients older than 80 years, women, patients with a prestroke Rankin score >2, a glomerular filtrate rate <60 mL/min, and in those with atrial fibrillation. Regarding prognostic variables, prealbumin levels were not associated with respiratory infection. Low prealbumin levels were associated with poor functional prognosis (Rankin score >2), in-hospital mortality, and 3-month mortality. In multivariate analysis, prealbumin was an independent risk factor associated with mortality at 3 months, OR 0.92 [0.86-0.98], p = 0.019.
conclusionLower prealbumin levels at admission behaved as an independent predictor of long-term mortality in patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy. These results should be replicated in other cohorts.
