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

purposesWe aimed to confirm the risk and risk factor for ischemic stroke after acute retinal arterial ischemia (ARAI).

methodsA retrospective cohort study of patients with a diagnosis of acute retinal arterial ischemia (ARAI) and completing 2-year follow-up was conducted from January 2015 to December 2021 at a general hospital.

resultsA total of 69 patients including 43(62.3%) patients of central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO), 11(15.9%) patients of branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) and 15(21.7%) patients of ophthalmic artery occlusion (OAO) were included in the study. Patients age was 58.2 ± 13.0(years), male patients accounting for 51 (73.9%) and 22 (31.9%) patients having at least 70% ipsilateral carotid artery stenosis (ICAS). During the 2-years follow-up period, 11(15.9%) patients of ARAI experienced ischemic stroke. Among them, 3(20%) patients of OAO, 6(14%) patients of CRAO and 2(18.2%) patients of BRAO had ischemic stroke. The cumulative probabilities of ischemic stroke were 13.0% at 12.9 months and 15.9% at 24 months after ARAI. In addition, patients with at least 70% ICAS were more likely than patients without it to have ischemic stroke (p = 0.002). After Cox regression analysis, ICAS (≥ 70%) or occlusion was significantly associated with a high risk of ischemic stroke after ARAI during the 2-years follow-up time (HR,6.769,95%CI [1.792-25.578], p = 0.005).

conclusionPatients have a high risk of ischemic stroke, particularly those with a diagnosis of ICAS (≥ 70%) or occlusion after the onset of ARAI. Clinical management of ARAI should focus on vascular risk factors control and secondary prevention for stroke.
