Association between carotid intima media thickness and acute ischemic stroke at an Indonesian tertiary referral hospital.

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
Objectives: A high prevalence of tobacco smoking contributes to a high incidence of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in Indonesia. Large-artery atherosclerosis is known to be a significant cause of AIS. The present study was aimed at evaluating the association between AIS and atherosclerosis on the basis of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) measurements in a tertiary care hospital in Indonesia. Methods: A total of 79 patients with AIS (case study group) and 79 individuals without AIS (control group) were included. Chi-squared tests and odds ratios were used to compare the groups and determine associations. We also considered factors such as age, body mass index (BMI), sex, type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hypertension, smoking status, dyslipidemia, socioeconomic status, and educational level in the statistical analyses. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Stratification of atherosclerosis into case study and control groups with respect to all study variables indicated a significant relationship (p > 0.05) between atherosclerosis and all variables except low socioeconomic status (p = 0.265) and low educational level (p = 0.180). Regression analysis demonstrated that a BMI ≥25 kg/m Conclusions: AIS was associated with atherosclerosis, on the basis of CIMT measurements, according to age, BMI, sex, T2DM, hypertension, smoking status, dyslipidemia, socioeconomic status, and education level in the Indonesian population.
