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: A recent position paper of the European Society of Cardiology Council on Stroke proposed an integrated ABC Methods: Patients with first-ever ischaemic stroke in Hong Kong between 2006 and 2022 were included in this retrospective cohort study. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between physicians' adherence to the ABC Results: Of the 9,669 included patients with ischaemic stroke (mean age 69.6 ± 13.4 years; 57.5% male), 58.1% were optimally managed according to all three ABC Conclusions: In this cohort of Asian patients with first-ever ischaemic stroke, optimal management according to the ABC
