Association between blood viscosity and early neurological deterioration in lacunar infarction.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Understanding the factors related to early neurologic deterioration (END) is crucial in the management of patients with lacunar infarction. Blood viscosity is a significant factor for microvascular perfusion. We investigated the association between blood viscosity and occurrence of END in lacunar infarction. Methods: We included consecutive patients admitted for lacunar infarction within 72 h from symptoms onset. END was defined as an increase in the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≥2 within 24 h of admission. Viscosity was measured within 24 h of hospitalization with a scanning capillary tube viscometer. Viscosity measured at a shear rate of 300 s Results: Of the 178 patients included (median age, 65.5; interquartile range [IQR], 56.0, 76.0], END occurred in 33 (18.5%). DBV was significantly higher in patients with END than those without END (13.3 mPa·s [IQR 11.8, 16.0] vs. 12.3 mPa·s [IQR11.0, 13.5]; Conclusions: Blood viscosity at a low shear rate (DBV) was associated with the occurrence of END in patients with lacunar infarction. Blood rheology may be important in pathophysiology of END in patients with lacunar infarction.
