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

This study aimed to validate the predictive performance of ASTRAL and THRIVE scales when used for patients aged 60 years and older with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). All enrolled patients received IVT therapy. The enrolled patients were divided into two groups in accordance with the modified Rankin scale(mRS) score at the time of discharge: good-outcome (mRS ≤ 2) and poor-outcome (mRS ≥ 3) groups. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted using MedCalc software, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated. The Delong test was used to compare the predictive performance of ASTRAL and THRIVE scales, with P < 0.05 being considered a statistically significant difference. The AUCs of ASTRAL and THRIVE in predicting poor outcomes after thrombolysis in elderly patients with AIS were 0.771 and 0.701, respectively. The difference in AUC between ASTRAL and THRIVE was 0.070, and a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) was found. ASTRAL's predictive performance was better than that of THRIVE. ASTRAL is a reliable predictive tool for assessing the poor outcome of IVT therapy for elderly patients aged ≥ 60 years with AIS.
