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

backgroundAcute ischemic stroke (AIS) retains a notable stance in global disease burden, with thrombolysis

aimTo elucidate the prognostic utility of P/NR in predicting HT and clinical outcomes following intravenous rtPA administration in AIS patients.

methodsData from 418 AIS patients treated with intravenous rtPA at Thammasat University Hospital from January 2018 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The relationship between P/NR and clinical outcomes [early neurological deterioration (E-ND), HT, delayed ND (D-ND), and 3-mo outcomes] was scrutinized.

resultsNotable variables, such as age, diabetes, and stroke history, exhibited statistical disparities when comparing patients with and without E-ND, HT, D-ND, and 3-mo outcomes. P/NR prognostication revealed an optimal cutoff of 43.4 with a 60.3% sensitivity and a 52.5% specificity for 90-d outcomes. P/NR prognostic accuracy was statistically significant for 90-d outcomes [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.562], D-ND (AUC = 0.584), and HT (AUC = 0.607).

conclusionP/NR demonstrated an association with adverse 3-mo clinical outcomes, HT, and D-ND in AIS patients post-rtPA administration, indicating its potential as a predictive tool for complications and prognoses. This infers that a diminished P/NR may serve as a novel prognostic indicator, assisting clinicians in identifying AIS patients at elevated risk for unfavorable outcomes following rtPA therapy.
