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

backgroundStroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, with dysphagia being a common complication that worsens patient outcomes.

methodsData from 200 stroke patients (development cohort) and 50 stroke patients (validation cohort) were analyzed to develop a nomogram for predicting post-stroke dysphagia (PSD). Risk factors were identified through univariate analysis, Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression, and multivariate logistic regression.

resultsUnivariate analysis revealed substantial differences in age, body mass index (BMI), diabetes, atrial fibrillation, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, Activities of Daily Living (ADL) score, lesion site, stroke type, and several laboratory indicators across the groups. Further analysis of individual NIHSS items showed significant differences in consciousness level, best gaze, facial palsy, motor arm, motor leg, dysarthria, etc. LASSO regression identified three predictors: ADL score, motor leg, and dysarthria. Multivariable logistic regression revealed that ADL score [0.96 (0.94-0.97)], motor leg [5.70 (2.14-15.22)], and dysarthria [5.26 (2.00-13.82)] were independent risk factors for PSD. The prediction model's AUC was 0.915 (0.874-0.955), with a sensitivity of 0.920 (0.867-0.973), specificity of 0.800 (0.722-0.878), positive predictive value (PPV) of 0.821 (0.750-0.892), negative predictive value (NPV) of 0.909 (0.849-0.969), and F1 score of 0.859. External validation yielded an AUC of 0.995 (0.984-1.000). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: ADL score, motor leg, and dysarthria are independent predictors of PSD. The prediction model based on these factors shows high accuracy, sensitivity, balance, consistency, and clinical applicability. This nomogram can support decision-making for ultra-early rehabilitation care, ultimately improving patient prognosis.
