Ischemic Stroke Outcome Predicted by Serum Albumin Levels.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
OBJECTIVE AND
aimThis research aims to assess the predictive importance of serum albumin levels in individuals who have recently experienced an acute ischemic stroke and to establish a correlation between these two variables. MATERIALS AND
methodsA prospective hospital-based investigation with 50 participants was conducted after receiving ethical approval from Sunshine Hospital, Hyderabad, India. Patients older than 18 years old who had radiological or clinical evidence of having suffered an acute ischemic stroke were considered for participation in the research.
resultsAlbumin levels in the blood are typically about 3.6 g/dL. One patient between the ages of 46 and 55 had low serum albumin levels. Many people in both groups had albumin levels of about 4.4. Serum albumin concentration was measured using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). After one week and three months, 32 patients had mRS values of less than three, whereas 16 had mRS values of greater than three-one; the individual presented with an mRS value over 3, as well as a blood albumin level below 3.5. The p-value ended up being 0.428. No link could be supported by the statistical evidence identified. P = 0.249 indicated no association between serum albumin and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores. According to the findings of this inquiry, there is no correlation between the amounts of albumin in the blood and the NIHSS scores.
conclusionThis study did not find a correlation between higher blood albumin levels and a worse outcome after an ischemic stroke. It contradicts the corpus of current knowledge.
