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

objectiveThe aim of this study is to determine the frequency and clinical features of diagnosed rheumatological disease in patients who have no previous history of rheumatic disease and are consulted to the rheumatology clinic from other departments to investigate the etiology of early-onset ischemic stroke.

methodsPatients aged 18-65, who had not previously been diagnosed with rheumatic disease, had ischemic stroke for the first time, and were consulted to rheumatology clinic to investigate the etiology of the disease, were retrospectively included in the study. Demographics, clinic laboratory, imaging data and the final diagnosis of the patients were obtained from hospital records.

resultsA total of 115 patients who had their first ischemic stroke were identified in the study. 70 of them were detected to have young ischemic stroke. Of these patients, 1 was diagnosed with lupus with secondary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and Sjögren's syndrome 1 with lupus and secondary APS, 2 with primary APS, 1 with lupus, 1 with primary Sjögren's syndrome and 1 with granulomatous with polyangiitis.

conclusionDetermining the correct etiological diagnosis of ischemic stroke, especially in young adults, is important in terms of preventing recurrent ischemic attacks. It is important to raise awareness of clinicians in terms of rheumatic diseases and to refer patients to the rheumatology department if deemed necessary.
