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: To evaluate the efficacy of remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) in improving neurological function and short-term prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods: This randomized, controlled, single-blind study aimed to evaluate the short-term (7-day) effects of RIC on neurological function in patients with AIS. 264 AIS patients (median age 65 years, 63.3% male) with ischemic symptoms <72 h post-onset were randomly assigned to either the RIC group ( Results: At 7 days, the RIC group showed a significantly higher proportion of patients with an mRS score of ≤2 compared to the control group (41.5% vs. 28.1%, Conclusion: RIC treatment enhances neurological function and improves short-term prognosis in AIS patients. These findings support the potential clinical application of RIC in AIS management.
