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 relationship between albumin-corrected anion gap (ACAG) and severe disorder of consciousness (SDOC), in-hospital mortality, and long-term mortality in patients with ischemic stroke (IS) remains unclear. This study investigates the association of ACAG with SDOC and other outcomes in IS using data from the MIMIC-IV database. A total of 2,379 IS patients were included, with a demographic breakdown showing 51% were male and an SDOC incidence of 16.4%. Analysis through Cox proportional hazards models indicated that ACAG is significantly associated with the risks of both SDOC and mortality. Additionally, restricted cubic spline(RCS) analysis suggested a nearly linear relationship between increasing ACAG levels and the incidence of SDOC. Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrated significant differences in the incidence rates of SDOC, in-hospital mortality, and long-term mortality across varying ACAG levels. The findings suggest that ACAG serves as an independent predictor for SDOC, in-hospital mortality, and long-term mortality in IS patients. Nonetheless, further prospective studies are needed to confirm these causal relationships.
