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 and Purpose: The neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) is connected with all-cause mortality and stroke-related pneumonia. The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic efficacy of NPAR in predicting functional outcomes at 90 days after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). Methods: We retrospective analyzed consecutive patients who underwent EVT at Nanjing First Hospital from October 2019 to June 2024. NPAR was defined as the percentage of neutrophils divided by the albumin levels. An unfavorable outcome was indicated by a modified Rankin Scale score of 3-6 at 90 days. Multivariable logistic regression models were utilized to investigate the association between NPAR and functional outcomes after EVT treatment. Results: A total of 713 patients (mean age, 70.5 ± 11.9 years; 430 males) were finally enrolled for analysis. Among these, 357 (50.1%) patients exhibited unfavorable outcomes at 90 days. Multivariate regression analysis indicated that elevated NPAR levels at admission were independently associated with poor outcome (adjusted odds ratio: 6.921; 95% confidence interval, 4.216-11.363; Conclusion: This study indicated that higher NPAR levels were associated an increased risk of poor outcome at 90 days in patients treated with EVT, suggesting that NPAR could serve as a viable prognostic biomarker for ischemic stroke after EVT.
