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

aimStudies investigating the relationship between pulse pressure (PP) and prognosis in acute ischemic stroke remain limited. Thus, in this study, we aim to determine whether changes in PP in the early phase of ischemic stroke are associated with neurological deterioration or stroke recurrence.

methodsPatients who participated in the Acute Aspirin Plus Cilostazol Dual Therapy for Non-cardiogenic Stroke Patients Within 48 Hours of Symptom Onset (ADS) trial were included in this study. We then divided the patients into four groups (low-low, low-high, high-low, high-high) according to low or high PP both on admission and 24 h after admission. The threshold PP calculated by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of PP on admission for neurological deterioration within 14 days and recurrent ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) within 3 months was 69 mmHg.

resultsNeurological deterioration within 14 days was observed in 118 patients (10.6%), whereas recurrent ischemic stroke/TIA within 3 months was noted in 34 patients (3.2%). Among these four groups, both neurological deterioration within 14 days (odds ratio [OR] 2.09, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.12-3.91; p=0.0209) and recurrent ischemic stroke/TIA within 3 months (OR 4.80; 95% CI 1.62-14.86; p=0.0064) were significantly more frequent in the high-high group than in the low-low group as per the results of our multivariate analysis. In addition, neurological deterioration within 14 days was significantly higher in the high-low group than that in the low-low group (OR 2.70; 95% CI 1.44-5.05; p=0.0019).

conclusionsHigh PP during the acute phase of ischemic stroke appears to be associated with ischemic stroke recurrence and neurological deterioration, particularly if PP is elevated both on admission and 24 h later after admission.
