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

Given advantages in reperfusion therapy leading to mild stroke, less apparent cognitive deficits can be overseen in a routine neurological examination. Despite the widespread use of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), age- and education-specific cutoffs for the detection of post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) are not established, hampering its valid application in stroke. We aimed to establish age- and education-specific MoCA cutoffs to better discriminate patients with and without acute PSCI. Patients with acute ischemic stroke underwent the MoCA and a detailed neuropsychological assessment. PSCI was defined as a performance < - 1.5 SD in ≥ 2 cognitive domains. As secondary data analysis, the discriminant abilities of the MoCA
