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

backgroundMost studies on Guhong injection have involved a single center with a small sample size, and the level of clinical evidence is low.

aimTo assess the safety and efficacy of Guhong injection for mild ischemic stroke (IS).

methodsA total of 399 IS patients treated at six hospitals from August 2018 to August 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were given Guhong injection (experimental group) or Butylphthalide and Sodium Chloride Injection (control group). Changes in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores were observed before treatment and at 1, 2, and 3 wk after treatment in each group. The efficacy and safety of Guhong injection for IS were assessed. Other medications taken by the patients were confounding factors for efficacy assessment. These factors were controlled by propensity score matching, and the results were further analyzed based on the matching.

resultsThe marked response rates at three follow-up visits were 64.64%, 74.7%, and 66.7% in the experimental group, and 48.26%, 45.4%, and 22.2% in the control group. The marked response rates increased significantly in the experimental group compared with the control group (

conclusionGuhong injection is safe and more effective than Butylphthalide and Sodium Chloride Injection for treatment of IS.
