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

aimWe aimed to assess the association between non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) and symptomatic intracranial artery stenosis (sICAS), as well as the impact of non-HDL-C on recurrent vascular events in patients with mild ischemic stroke ( NIHSS score ≤ 5).

methodsThis prospective study was based on data from patients presenting within 72 hours of stroke occurrence. We included patients admitted to 8 Chinese hospitals between September 2019 and November 2021. The associations of non-HDL-C with sICAS and recurrent vascular risk were assessed using multivariate regression models and a restricted cubic spline analysis.

resultsAmong the 2,544 patients analyzed at 12 months, 652 (25.6%) were diagnosed with sICAS. Elevated non-HDL-C was linked to a higher incidence of sICAS, and the adjusted odd ratios for quintile variables and continuous variables were 1.36 ([95% CI, 1.01-1.81]) and 1.14 ([95% CI, 1.04-1.24). In comparison to those in the first quintile, the adjusted hazard ratio of the fifth quintile of non-HDL-C was 1.19 ([95% CI 0.78-1.80]) for recurrent ischemic stroke and was 0.39 ([95% CI, 0.17-0.91]) for intracranialhemorrhage.

conclusionsThe non-HDL-C level may be a useful predictor of sICAS. Higher non-HDL-C levels may be associated with a lower risk of intracranial hemorrhage in mild, noncardiogenic stroke, but not a higher risk of recurrent ischemic stroke.
