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

Background: Dysphagia is a common and clinically significant complication of ischemic stroke. The prevalence and risk factors for dysphagia may vary at different stages following an ischemic stroke. Methods: This study included patients with acute and chronic ischemic stroke who were treated at the Department of Rehabilitation, First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from 2019 to 2022. Various demographic, clinical, and laboratory parameters were collected, and statistical analyses were performed to investigate their association with dysphagia. Results: Among the 399 ischemic stroke patients included in the study, 165 (41.4 %) experienced dysphagia, with 72 (38.7 %) in the acute phase and 93 (43.7 %) in the chronic phase. Univariate analysis revealed significant associations (p < 0.05) between dysphagia and factors such as pulmonary infection, aphasia, NIHSS score, ADL score, NLR score, lower extremity Brunnstrom's stages, and sit-to-stand balance. Multiple logistic regression analysis, after adjusting for confounding factors, identified the ADL score as an independent predictor of dysphagia. These findings were consistent across three time-windows: the acute phase, the chronic phase, and 180 days after stroke onset. Additionally, the lymphocyte count and pulmonary infection were identified as potential independent indicators. Conclusions: This study investigated the prevalence and risk factors for dysphagia in ischemic stroke patients at different time-windows. A low ADL score (<40) may serve as a valuable and reliable predictor for poststroke dysphagia in clinical settings.
