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

This study seeks to assess the associations of Naples Prognostic Score with stroke in adults and all cause mortality among stroke patients. We analyzed data from 44,601 participants in the 2005-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The Naples Prognostic Score (NPS) was derived from total cholesterol, serum albumin, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR). Participants were classified into three groups based on their NPS. Stroke incidence was determined through self-reported questionnaires, and mortality data were diligently tracked using the National Death Index. We investigated the relationship between NPS and stroke prevalence using multiple logistic regression analysis. To explore the association between NPS and all cause mortality in stroke survivors, we applied Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards models. Furthermore, we conducted a detailed subgroup analysis to assess interaction effects on all cause mortality risk within this population. The median age of the participants was 50.00 years [interquartile range: 35.00-64.00], with males comprising 49.36% of the study. The overall stroke prevalence was 3.93%. Participants were categorized into three groups based on their NPS: 6,328 (18.1%) in Group 0 (NPS 0), 24,015 (68.8%) in Group 1 (NPS 1 or 2), and 4,580 (13.1%) in Group 2 (NPS 3 or 4). After adjusting for covariates, individuals in Group 2 exhibited a significantly higher stroke prevalence compared to Group 0, with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.82 [95% confidence interval: 1.48-2.23]. Among the 1372 patients with a history of stroke, with a median follow-up duration of 5.94 years, we utilized Cox proportional hazards models to assess the relationship between NPS and all cause mortality risk. The analysis revealed that, after adjusting for covariates, stroke patients in Group 2 faced a significantly elevated risk of all cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.21 [95% confidence interval: 1.44-3.11]) compared to those in Group 0. Subsequent subgroup analyses to explore interaction effects on all cause mortality risk among stroke patients shown no significant interactions (p for interaction > 0.05). This study indicate a positive correlation between NPS and the risk of stroke in adults, as well as all cause mortality in stroke patients.
