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
Background and Purpose: Sex differences in acute ischemic stroke have been widely investigated, but the difference in acute ischemic stroke patients who received intravenous thrombolysis is not well understood. The current study was to investigate the issue based on a prospective cohort. Methods: From the Intravenous Thrombolysis Registry for Chinese Ischemic Stroke within 4.5h onset (INTRECIS) cohort, a total of 953 eligible patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled in final analysis. Based on 3-month modified Rankin scale score (mRS), patients were classified into good outcome group (mRS 0-1) and poor outcome group (mRS 2-6). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify predictive factors for clinical outcome in male or female patients. Results: Of the 953 patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis, 314 (32.9 %) were women. At day 90, we found no significant gender differences in good outcome (72.5 % vs 65.6 %, adjusted p = 0.414). We got the same results after propensity score matching (69.5 % vs 63.4 %, adjusted p = 0.637). Furthermore, we found that initial National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (odd ratio [OR] 0.877; 95 % CI 0.847-0.909, p < 0.001) and serum creatinine (OR 0.993; 95 % CI 0.986-1.000, p = 0 0.043) were found to be independent risk factors for poor outcome in male patients, while initial NIHSS score (OR 0.879; 95 % CI 0.839-0.920, p < 0.001), age (OR 0.970; 95 % CI 0.946-0.995, p = 0.017), systolic blood pressure (OR 0.984; 95 % CI 0.972-0.996, p = 0.007) and small artery occlusion (OR 2.718; 95 % CI 1.065-6.936, p = 0.036) in female patients. Conclusions: In this study, we found no gender difference in clinical outcome of thrombolysed stroke patients, but a difference in risk factors predicting outcome in male vs female patients was identified for the first time.
