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

Xanthine oxidase (XO), a form of xanthine oxidoreductase, is widely distributed in various human tissues. As a major source for the generation of superoxide radicals, XO is involved in the induction of oxidative stress and inflammation during ischemic and hypoxic tissue injury. Therefore, we designed this study to identify the role of serum XO levels in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) pathogenesis. In this single-center prospective study, 328 consecutive patients with AIS for the first time were included, and 107 age- and sex-matched healthy controls from a community-based stroke screening population were also included. The serum levels of XO and several conventional stroke risk factors were assessed. Multivariate analysis was applied to evaluate the relationship between serum levels of XO and clinical outcomes, and nomogram models were developed to predict the onset, progression and prognosis of AIS. Compared with the healthy control group, the serum level of XO was significantly higher in the AIS group (P < 0.05) and was an independent risk factor for AIS (OR 8.68, 95% CI 4.62-14.33, P < 0.05). Patients with progressive stroke or a poor prognosis had a much higher serum level of XO than patients with stable stroke or a good prognosis (all P < 0.05). In addition, the serum level of XO was an independent risk factor for stroke progression (OR 1.98, 95% CI 1.12-3.50, P = 0.018) and a poor prognosis (OR 2.51, 95% CI 1.47-3.31, P = 0.001). The nomogram models including XO to predict the onset, progression and prognosis of AIS had good prediction and differentiation abilities. The findings of this study show that the serum level of XO on admission was an independent risk factor for AIS and had certain clinical predictive value for stroke progression and prognosis in patients with AIS.
