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

Background and purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and early neurological deterioration (END) among cases suffering from single subcortical infarction (SSI) and diabetes. Methods: We collected the data of patients with SSI admitted to our hospital between January 2019 and December 2020 retrospectively. A score of ≥2 elevations in overall National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score or ≥1 increase in motor NIHSS score in 5-day post-admission was considered END. Furthermore, logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between NLR and END among SSI cases. Results: Altogether, we enrolled 235 consecutive SSI cases, of which 53 (22.5%) were diagnosed with END, while 93 (39.5%) were diabetic. In patients with diabetes, the value of NLR increased markedly among the patients with END (median, 3.59; IQR, 2.18-4.84) compared to patients without END (median, 2.64; IQR, 1.89-3.18; Conclusion: NLR value was significantly related to END among SSI patients with diabetes and was recognized as an independent factor in predicting the risk of END.
