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

This study examines changes in frailty among patients hospitalized for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in a nationwide hospital cohort in Germany. Data from AIS patients were compared between the period before the corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-pandemic (1 January 2016 to 31 December 2019) vs the pandemic phase (1 January 2020 to 31 December 2022). Frailty was categorized using the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS). Inferential statistics were conducted using generalized linear mixed models. Among the 101,124 included AIS patients, the median HFRS decreased from 9.3 (interquartile range [IQR]: 5.2-15.5) in pre-pandemic years to 8.4 (IQR: 4.4-14.2) during the pandemic (
