Lipid management in ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack in China: result from China National Stroke Registry III.
Article in BMJ open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07242599 (A Multicenter, Randomized, Open-label, Parallel-controlled, Event-driven, Blinded-endpoint Trial Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Ongericimab Injection in High-risk Stroke Patients With Intracranial or Extracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis.), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
objectivesThe aims of the study were to assess the management of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and the goal achievement, as well as to investigate the association between baseline LDL-C level, lipid-lowering treatment (LLT), and stroke recurrence in patients with ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA).
designOur study was a post hoc analysis of the Third China National Stroke Registry (CNSR-III).
settingWe derived data from the CNSR-III - a nationwide clinical registry of ischaemic stroke and TIA based on 201 participating hospitals in mainland China.
participants15,166 patients were included in this study with demographic characteristics, etiology, imaging, and biological markers from August 2015 to March 2018. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was a new stroke, LDL-C goal (LDL-C<1.8mmol/L and LDL-C<1.4mmol/L, respectively) achievement rates, and LLT compliance within 3, 6, and 12 months. The secondary outcomes included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and all caused death at 3 and 12 months.
resultsAmong the 15,166 patients, over 90% of patients received LLT during hospitalization and 2 weeks after discharge; the LLT compliance was 84.5% at 3 months, 75.6% at 6 months, and 64.8% at 12 months. At 12 months, LDL-C goal achievement rate for 1.8mmol/L and 1.4mmol/L was 35.4% and 17.6%, respectively. LLT at discharge was associated with reduced risk of ischemic stroke recurrence (HR=0.69, 95% CI: 0.48-0.99, p=0.04) at 3 months. The rate of LDL-C reduction from baseline to 3-month follow-up was not associated with a reduced risk of stroke recurrence or major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at 12 months. Patients with baseline LDL-C ≤1.4mmol/L had a numerically lower risk of stroke, ischemic stroke and MACE at both 3 months and 12 months.
conclusionsThe LDL-C goal achievement rate has increased mildly in the stroke and TIA population in mainland China. Lowered baseline LDL-C level was significantly associated with a decreased short- and long-term risk of ischemic stroke among stroke and TIA patients. LDL-C<1.4mmol/L might be a safe standard for this population.
