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 neutrophil-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHR) has emerged as a novel inflammatory marker with prognostic significance. This study aims to explore the association between NHR and adverse prognosis in patients with acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke who achieved complete recanalization after mechanical thrombectomy (MT). Methods: This retrospective study analyzed acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with LVO who underwent MT at three stroke centers in Dalian, China, between January 2016 and November 2023. Complete recanalization was defined as achieving a modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) grade 3. Blood parameters were assessed within 24 h after MT. We compared intergroup differences based on NHR tertiles and employed the multivariate logistic regression analysis to assess the relationship between NHR and adverse outcomes. Results: This study included 348 AIS patients with LVO, of whom 215 (61.8%) had adverse clinical outcomes at 90 days. The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between an elevated NHR and 90-day adverse outcomes (OR 2.311, 95% CI 1.248-4.278, Conclusion: Our findings revealed that an elevated NHR could increase the risk of adverse prognosis following complete recanalization after MT in acute LVO stroke patients, which indicated that NHR could serve as a potential inflammatory marker for identifying high risk patients.
