Baseline platelet count may predict short-term functional outcome of cerebral infarction.
Article in BMC neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsPlatelets play an important role in homeostasis however, they have also been associated with increased mortality after myocardial infarction. In the present study, we investigated whether platelet count is associated with differences in the short-term prognosis at the time of hospital discharge and early neurological deterioration in ischemic stroke patients.
methodsPatients with ischemic stroke were enrolled from among 661 cerebrovascular disease patients admitted between January 2018 and December 2020. Patients who received hyperacute treatment, had a pre-onset modified Rankin scale (mRS) ≥ 3, transient ischemic attack, or active malignant disease were excluded. The platelet count was divided into quartiles (Q1-4) according to the number of patients, and the relationship between platelet count and prognosis was assessed using multivariable analysis.
resultsIn total, 385 patients were included in the study. Regarding the functional outcome by platelet count, there was a significant increase in mRS ≥ 3 at discharge in the Q4 (range: 243-1327 × 10
conclusionPlatelet count at onset may affect the prognosis of cerebral infarction and early neurological deterioration. This study may help clarify the pathogenesis of cerebral infarction to improve prognosis.
