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

Patients suffering from strokes are at increased risk of developing post-stroke dementia. Serum anti-NMDA receptor autoantibodies (NMDAR1-abs) have been associated with unfavorable post-stroke outcomes. However, their effect on specific cognitive domains remains unclear. We used data from the prospective multicenter DZNE-mechanisms after stroke (DEMDAS) cohort, and measured NMDAR1-abs in serum at baseline. Cognitive function was assessed with a comprehensive neuropsychological test battery at 6- and 12-months follow-up. We employed crude and stepwise confounder adjusted linear and logistic regression models as well as generalized estimating equation models (GEE) to determine the relevance of NMDAR1-abs seropositivity on cognitive function after stroke. 10.2% (58/569) DEMDAS patients were NMDAR1-abs seropositive (IgM:n = 44/IgA:n = 21/IgG:n = 2). Seropositivity was not associated with global cognitive impairment after stroke. However, NMDAR1-abs seropositive patients performed lower in the memory domain (β
