Exploring the pivotal variables of tongue diagnosis between patients with acute ischemic stroke and health participants.

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 aim: Stroke is a major cause of disability worldwide, and ischemic stroke is the most common type of stroke. The prevention and treatment of ischemic stroke remain a challenge worldwide. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is often sought to provide an alternative therapy for the prevention and rehabilitation intervention of ischemic stroke in Taiwan. Therefore, this study explored the pivotal variables of tongue diagnosis among acute ischemic stroke and healthy participants in middle and older age. Experimental procedure: This was a cross-sectional and case-controlled study. Data were collected from 99 patients with acute ischemic stroke and 286 healthy participants who received tongue diagnoses at Changhua Christian Hospital (CCH) from September 1, 2014, to December 31, 2016. Tongue features were extracted using the automatic tongue diagnosis system. Nine tongue features, including tongue shape, tongue color, fur thickness, fur color, saliva, tongue fissures, ecchymoses, teeth marks, and red spots were analyzed. Results and conclusion: Objective image analysis techniques were used to identify significant differences in the many tongue features between patients with acute ischemic stroke and individuals without stroke. According to the logistic regression analysis, pale tongue color (OR:5.501,
