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

Background and objective: Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) with inflammatory risk are important contributors to cardiovascular disease, but no definitive information is available in large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke. This study aims to investigate the association between NETs with related inflammatory biomarkers and prognosis of LAA stroke in the Chinese population. Methods: A prospective study involving 145 LAA stroke cases and 121 healthy controls was conducted. Serum levels of MPO-DNA, PAD4, HMGB1, C1q, AIM2, ASC, Caspase-1, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 were determined in all participants. The biomarkers were detected at three time points after stroke onset (24 hours: T1, 48 hours: T2, 7 days: T3) for LAA stroke patients and once for controls. Patients were followed up for 2 years after the ischemic event. Results: The serum MPO-DNA, PAD4, C1q, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-8 reach their peak at 24 hours after stroke onset and show a decreasing trend during acute phase. MPO-DNA, AIM2 and IL-1β at baseline were associated with poor outcome at 3 months, further GMDR analysis revealed that the combination of MPO-DNA, AIM2 and IL-1β exert a synergistic effect on the prognosis of LAA stroke (OR: 8.75 95%CI (2.10-32.42)). For time-to-event analysis, MPO-DNA, Caspase-1 and IL-1β at baseline were predictors of MVEs after stroke (HR:4.04 (95%CI 1.28-12.70), 2.33 (95%CI 1.06-5.12) and 4.09 (95%CI 1.39-11.99), respectively). Conclusions: NETs and related inflammatory biomarkers at baseline predicted outcome at 3 months and late major vascular events following LAA stroke, supporting a rationale of randomized trials for targeted therapy directed at high-risk patients with elevated baseline NETs and related inflammatory biomarkers.
