Clinical significance of blood viscosity in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Ischemic stroke has various etiologies, and its pathogenesis is influenced by a range of factors. In addition to systemic factors, such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus, blood flow and blood viscosity are also known to contribute to the development of ischemic stroke. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the impact of blood viscosity on ischemic stroke, according to subtypes. The medical records of 298 patients admitted to St. Vincent's Hospital with acute ischemic stroke between January 2020 and May 2022 were analyzed. Comprehensive diagnostic procedures, including blood viscosity tests, brain imaging, and etiology workups, were conducted and reviewed. Clinical and laboratory factors, including diastolic blood viscosity, were compared among patients with different subtypes of ischemic stroke. Factors associated with diastolic blood viscosity were identified. The average age of the patients was 68.6 ± 13.4 years, and there was a higher proportion of females (54.7%). Diastolic blood viscosity was higher in patients with small vessel disease and those with old lacunar infarctions or cerebral microbleeds than in those with white matter hyperintense lesions or significant stenosis. However, multivariable analysis revealed no significant associations between diastolic blood viscosity and stroke subtype of index stroke or any imaging markers. Instead, diastolic blood viscosity was independently associated with hypertension and high levels of C-reactive protein. In patients with acute stroke, diastolic blood viscosity showed a statistically significant relation with hypertension and C-reactive protein and also tended to be associated with old lacunar infarction and cerebral microbleeds.
