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

The study investigates the utility of heart fatty-acid binding protein (H-FABP) in distinguishing TIA from mimics. Data from 175 patients from the StrokeChip multicenter study was retrospectively analyzed. H-FABP level was measured using a rapid point-of-care test. Findings revealed that H-FABP levels were higher in individuals with TIA compared to mimics [3.10 ng/mL (IQR 2.13-4.78) vs. 1.70 ng/mL (IQR 1.23-2.38)] (p < 0.001). The diagnostic performance of H-FABP, assessed using the area under the curve operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0. 83 (95% CI = 0.76-0.90) for the final model, indicating good discriminative ability. The PanelomiX determined that a combined cutoff of > 1.85 ng/ml for H-FABP, age > 42.5 years, and baseline NIHSS > 3.5 had a 100% of sensitivity and 23.30% of specificity. The study suggests that H-FABP has potential as a TIA diagnostic biomarker. The rapid application of POCT's for H-FABP measurement supports its potential use in emergency departments and primary care settings.
