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 This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the coagulation function measured by thromboelastography (TEG) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and total burden of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), to further establish a nomogram tool based on regular clinical risk factors and TEG, to conveniently predict the risk of high-grade white matter hyperintensities (WMH) and CSVD burden in AIS patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS A cross-sectional study included 143 AIS patients who underwent TEG tests and 3.0T head MRI scans after admission. They were grouped according to total burden CSVD score and WMH Fazekas score. Differences in regular clinical data (RCD), TEG, and conventional coagulation tests (CCT) between groups were compared. Three sets of logistic regression models were established: RCD model, and models combining RCD with TEG and CCT respectively, to evaluate their predictive performance for WMH and SVD in patients with AIS. RESULTS Univariate analysis revealed age, hypertension, stroke history, fibrinogen, and TEG indicators maximum amplitude, Angle, K, and coagulation index were risk factors for increased WMH Fazekas score and CSVD burden in patients with AIS (OR>1, P<0.05). Logistic regression model combining RCD and TEG had a higher AUC value in predicting WMH (Fazekas score ≥2) and SVD (SVD burden score ≥3). CONCLUSIONS TEG parameters of patients with AIS are related to CSVD burden and its imaging features. Based on regular clinical risk factors, TEG can provide additional predictive information on the severity of WMHs and the burden of CSVD in patients with AIS.
