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

backgroundThis cohort study aimed to research the correlation between endophthalmitis and stroke development in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients by reviewing National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) data.

methodsThis study obtained data from the NHIRD over a sixteen-year period. The primary outcome was stroke development. We used Fisher's exact test and Pearson's chi-squared test to analyze the variables. We investigated the risk factors for disease development using Cox regression analyses. We compared the cumulative incidence of stroke using Kaplan-Meier analysis.

resultsThe study cohort included 549 patients with AS and endophthalmitis, while the comparison cohort included 2196 patients with AS but without endophthalmitis. The stroke development was increased in the study cohort (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.873;

conclusionsOur studies showed that endophthalmitis increases the risk of stroke in AS patients and endophthalmitis is an independent risk factor for stroke in AS patients. Nonetheless, advanced studies that thoroughly investigate the correlation between endophthalmitis and stroke in AS patients are needed to validate our findings.
