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/

aimThe relationship between renal function and severity of cardioembolic stroke (CES) stratified by sex remains poorly understood. PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 640 consecutive CES patients within 48 h after stroke onset and with a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0 or 1 before onset were studied. The patients were divided into three groups based on their CCr values: low creatinine clearance (CCr) (L-CCr) (n=71, <30 ml/min), middle CCr (M-CCr) (n=227, 30 to <50 ml/min), and high CCr (H-CCr) (n=342, ≥50 ml/min). We compared the severity and functional outcomes of stroke among the three groups according to sex.

resultsOn admission, using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, the L-CCr group had the most severe stroke, followed by the M-CCr and H-CCr groups (p<0.0001). Functional outcomes at discharge, assessed using the mRS, were the worst in the L-CCr group, followed by the M-CCr and H-CCr groups (p<0.0001). Multivariable analyses revealed that L-CCr was a significant determinant of severe stroke on admission and poor functional outcomes at discharge. According to sex, L-CCr was a significant determinant of severe stroke on admission and poor functional outcomes at discharge in female patients, but not in male patients.

conclusionLow CCr is a risk factor for severe stroke on admission and unfavorable functional outcomes at discharge in Japanese CES patients, and particularly in female patients.
