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

To understand anticoagulation therapy in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) after receiving reperfusion treatments in the real world. This retrospective study collected basic clinical data, the initiation time of anticoagulation therapy, treatment plans, and prognosis of AIS patients with AF who underwent intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), and/or endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) from January 2019 to January 2022 in four tertiary hospitals in Jiangxi Province. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors influencing anticoagulation therapy in these patients. The reasons for delay or non-initiation of anticoagulation therapy were analyzed by questionnaire. A total of 410 patients met the selection criteria, including 168 (41.0%) in the IVT group, 144 (35.1%) in the EVT group, and 98 (23.9%) in the IVT + EVT group. Initiation of anticoagulation therapy within 14 days post-AIS was found in 175 patients in total (42.7%), which is significantly different in three groups (49.7% in IVT group, 30.3% in EVT group, and 20.0% in IVT + EVT groups, P < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that prior use of antiplatelet drugs was more common in patients receiving early anticoagulation therapy (OR = 0.122, 95% CI 0.065-0.228, P < 0.01). Patients receiving no anticoagulation had higher-3-days post-reperfusion NIHSS score (OR = 1.109, 95% CI 1.073-1.147, P < 0.01) and more in-hospital haemorrhagic transformation (OR = 2.572, 95% CI 1.423-4.648, P < 0.01). Of all patients, 281 had a favorable 90-day prognosis (mRS score 0-2), including 152 (86.9%) in the early anticoagulation group and 129 (54.9%) in the delay anticoagulation group (P < 0.01). Postoperative 90-day outcomes included 25 (6.1%) cases of recurrent ischemic stroke (P = 0.55) and 27 (6.6%) bleeding events (P = 0.32). Early initiation of anticoagulation therapy improves 90-day outcomes in NVAF post-related AIS patients with related AF after receiving reperfusion treatments; however, the initiation of anticoagulation in most patients might be much later than the currently recommended timing in real world.
