Risk factors of stroke-associated pneumonia in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated by endovascular thrombectomy.
Article in BMC neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundAlthough there are a variety of risk factors and predictive models for stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), the risk factors and predictive value for SAP in patients with AIS treated by endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the occurrence of SAP in acute ischemic stroke patients treated with EVT and identify independent predictors of SAP.
methodsWe enrolled patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) at the stroke center of Maoming People's Hospital between January 2021 and December 2023. The patients were categorized into the SAP group and Non-SAP group. Univariate analysis was performed to examine the correlation between each potential risk factor and SAP. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) were applied to identify independent predictors of SAP and evaluate their predictive value, respectively.
resultsA total of 233 participants were included in this study. Among them, 131 (56.22%) patients were identified with SAP. The univariate analysis showed significant differences in the following variables between groups: admission National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score (NIHSS) (P = 0.005), procedural time (P = 0.000), dysphagia (P = 0.004), white blood cell (WBC) (P = 0.044), neutrophils (P = 0.019), and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (P = 0.002). The multivariable logistic analysis identified the following independent predictors of SAP: admission NIHSS score [OR = 1.078, 95% CI = 1.020-1.140, P = 0.008], procedural time [OR = 1.023, 95% CI = 1.014-1.032, P = 0.000], NLR [OR = 1.152, 95% CI = 1.005-1.320, P = 0.042], and dysphagia [OR = 0.340, 95% CI = 0.151-0.767, P = 0.009]. Furthermore, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis demonstrated that procedural time had the best predictive performance for SAP in AIS patients undergoing EVT.
conclusionAdmission NIHSS score, procedural time, NLR, and dysphagia were associated with SAP in patients with AIS treated with EVT and can be an independent predictor for SAP.
