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

backgroundStress hyperglycemia (SH) is a common phenomenon that is present in about 50% of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). It is thought to be a main risk factor for poor functional outcome among patients with AIS undergoing intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).

aimTo investigate the predictive value of glycemic indicators for early neurological outcomes (ENOs) in patients with AIS treated with IVT.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed a prospectively collected database of patients with AIS who underwent IVT at the Department of Neurology, Second Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, between January 2017 and June 2022. ENO included early neurological improvement (ENI) and early neurological deterioration (END), defined as a decrease or increase in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score between baseline and 24 hours after IVT. We analyzed the associations between glycemic indicators [including admission hyperglycemia (AH), fasting blood glucose (FBG), and SH ratio (SHR)] and ENO in all patients and in subgroups stratified by diabetes mellitus (DM).

resultsA total of 819 patients with AIS treated with IVT were included. Among these, AH was observed in 329 patients (40.2%). Compared with patients without AH, those with AH were more likely to have a higher prevalence of DM (

conclusionOur study demonstrated that glycemic indicators in patients with stroke treated with IVT were associated with the presence of END rather than ENI during the first 24 hours after admission.
