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

Free fatty acids (FFAs) are a risk factor for recurrent ischemic stroke, primarily via the overproduction of reactive oxygen species. However, the association between FFA concentrations and cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), including lacunes, cerebral microbleeds, and white matter lesions on brain magnetic resonance imaging, remains unclear. This study included 95 patients with acute ischemic stroke (median age: 59 [interquartile range: 49-73] years). The patients were divided into two groups: those aged ≤59 years (midlife patients) and those aged ≥60 years (late-life patients). In the midlife patients, the low serum total FFA concentration was an independent risk factor of lacunes (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 0.82, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.69-0.96;
