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

aimsUrinary immunoglobulin G (IgG) may be a stronger marker of atherosclerosis than microalbuminuria are because urinary IgG reflects proteinuria level and size-selectivity loss. Microalbuminuria-not urinary IgG-is associated with mild acute ischemic stroke (MAIS).

methodsUsing the Jikei University School of Medicine Stroke Registry, we selected and screened patients with symptomatic acute ischemic stroke (onset-to-door time ≤ 24 h). The exclusion criteria were (1) on-admission NIHSS scores >10, (2) a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ≥ 2 prior to stroke onset, (3) incomplete data (no urinalysis ≤ 3 days after admission or no mRS score at 90 days from stroke onset), and (4) an active malignancy. Patients at 90 days post-discharge were divided into those with favorable mRS scores of 0-1 and those with unfavorable mRS scores of 2-6. Clinical backgrounds were compared for (1) patients with positive and negative urinary IgG results, and (2) patients with favorable and unfavorable outcomes.

resultsOf our study's 210 patients (164=male, median age=68, median eGFR=53.2 ml/min/1.73 m

conclusionIn MAIS, urinary IgG was associated with both the presence of atherosclerosis and an unfavorable outcome at 90 days after stroke onset.
