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

Background: The albumin-to-alkaline phosphatase ratio (AAPR) is a predictor of several disease outcomes. However, there is no study about AAPR and acute ischemic stroke outcomes. This study aims to investigate the relationship between AAPR and a 3-month unfavorable outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods: This prospective cohort study included 2084 patients with acute ischemic stroke in South Korea. After applying strict exclusion criteria, 1,886 patients were included in our analysis and divided into three groups based on AAPR tertiles. An unfavorable outcome was defined as a 3-month modified Rankin scale (mRS) score > 2. Logistic regression analysis and smooth curve fitting analysis were applied to investigate the relationship between AAPR and unfavorable outcomes. Subgroup analysis was also performed to assess whether influencing factors changed the association between AAPR and unfavorable outcomes. Results: After adjusting for potential confounders, multivariate analysis showed that AAPR was significantly associated with a 3-month unfavorable outcome (OR 0.18, 95% CI 0.09-0.35, Conclusion: This study is the first to suggest a non-linear relationship between AAPR and a 3-month unfavorable outcome of acute ischemic stroke. AAPR was negatively correlated with a 3-month unfavorable outcome when AAPR was <0.588.
