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

Objective: This study was to investigate the correlation between serum calprotectin (Cal) and the severity and outcome of patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI). Methods: Clinical data and serum Cal data were collected from 160 ACI patients and 60 healthy individuals. ACI patients were grouped according to their prognosis. Clinical data, biochemical indicators, and Cal levels were measured. Correlations between serum Cal and National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) scores, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores, and hematocrit (HCT) were analyzed. Results: In ACI patients, elevated serum Cal levels were observed. These levels were positively correlated with NIHSS scores and inversely correlated with GCS scores and HCT. The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that serum Cal had an area under the curve of 0.770 for predicting poor outcomes, with a diagnostic cutoff of 18.01 mg/L. Serum Cal levels over 18.01 mg/L were independently related to poor prognosis for ACI and were identified as an independent risk factor for adverse outcomes. Conclusion: Serum Cal shows high expression in patients with ACI. Serum Cal has a good predictive value for the outcome of ACI.
