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.

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.

Abstract

objectiveTo determine the temporal profiles of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), neurofilament light (NFL), total tau (t-tau), and ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1) in plasma the first week after acute ischemic stroke, and identify the optimal time points for assessing infarct volume by these biomarkers. PATIENTS &

methodsIn this cohort study, biomarker plasma concentrations were determined daily over the first week and at 90 days after symptom onset in patients with acute ischemic stroke. A brain MRI was performed on day three. Temporal variations in biomarker levels were analyzed using linear mixed-effects models, and optimal time points for infarct volume correlation were identified with continuous Pearson analysis.

results38 patients with a median age of 78 (IQR 72-86) and mean infarct volume of 5.5 (IQR 1.6-17) cm

interpretationThis high-resolution serial sampling of plasma GFAP, NFL, t-tau, and UCHL1 the first week after acute ischemic stroke identified three distinct temporal profiles. These biomarkers provided the most accurate infarct volume assessment 4-6 days after symptom onset. CLINICALTRIALS: gov NCT03812666 (registration date 2019-01-23).
