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
Introduction: The aim of the study was to evaluate insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) as a predictor of the course of an acute cerebral ischemic event (AICE). This polypeptide, by activating receptors that are present in most tissues, including the brain, mediates the anabolic activity of growth hormone (GH) and its impact on growth and maturation processes, as well as organisms' survival time. AICE can occur in the form of a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or an ischemic stroke (IS). Material and methods: The study included 86 participants. The correlation between serum IGF-1 concentration and the clinical status of 56 patients on days 1 and 9 of AICE, as well as risk factors and the course of the disease, were prospectively analyzed. The control group consisted of 30 healthy volunteers. Results: Patients with a minor baseline neurological syndrome had higher serum IGF-1 concentrations than patients with severe baseline neurological dysfunctions. Multidimensional analyses showed that high IGF-1 values independently determined the worse course of the disease, especially in patients with a severe neurological deficit present on the first day of AICE. Conclusions: Our results indicate that the high level of circulating IGF-1 on the first day of AICE is an independent factor determining the unfavorable course of the stroke, and this relationship is proportional to the severity of the baseline neurological deficit. The study also revealed a positive correlation between the decreased plasma IGF-1 concentration on the first day of AICE and the severity of neurological symptoms.
