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.
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
Background: Cerebral hernia is a serious complication after thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This study aims to explore the predictive value of emergency preoperative plasma D-dimer levels in cerebral herniation after successful thrombectomy. Methods: Between January 2019 and December 2023, patients with AIS who received a successful thrombectomy in our single comprehensive stroke center were retrospectively enrolled. We conducted a statistical analysis on the data using SPSS 26.0. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the predictive value of D-dimer level for cerebral herniation. Results: Among 278 enrolled patients, 20 cases (7.19%) experienced cerebral herniation. In patients with cerebral hernia, the score of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale was higher (16.5 vs 12.0, P < 0.001), the Alberta Stroke Plan early CT score was lower (6.5 vs 8.0, P < 0.001), the score of collateral circulation was lower (2.0 vs 3.0, P < 0.001), the proportion of eTICI blood flow grading of 3 of the occluded vessel was less (35% vs 75.19%), the proportion of pathogenesis of large atherosclerosis was less (5.00% vs 46.51%, P < 0.001), and the level of plasma D-dimer was higher (2.61 vs 0.82). After adjusting for potential confounders, the level of D-dimer (adjusted OR = 1.131, 95% CI 1.022-1.250, P = 0.017) was significantly correlated with cerebral hernia. Based on the ROC curve, the sensitivity and specificity of D-dimer in predicting cerebral herniation were 75.0% and 73.3%, respectively, and the area under the curve was 0.766. Conclusion: Although our study had certain limitations, we found that elevated emergency preoperative plasma D-dimer level is an independent predictive factor for the cerebral herniation after successful thrombectomy in patients with AIS, which is of great clinical significance.
