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

abstractIschaemic stroke in young adults is a major public health problem and accounts for 10%-15% of all cases. Moreover, young ischaemic stroke patients often suffer long-lasting disabilities that affect the most productive years of their lives and have devastating consequences and significant socioeconomic impact. The defining age range for young adults with ischaemic stroke has varied across studies, with most studies using the younger upper age limit of 45-50 years. Identifying underlying risk factors and aetiologies of ischaemic stroke in young adults is important for guiding management, improving outcomes and reducing stroke recurrence. However, this can be challenging, as the causes of stroke in young adults are more heterogeneous, diagnosis may be confounded by stroke mimics and a substantial proportion of young adults are classified as having stroke of undermined aetiology or cryptogenic stroke. This review provides an overview of the classification, risk factors, aetiologies, treatment and outcomes of ischaemic stroke in the young adult population.
