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.

Abstract

objectivesTo investigate the association between in-hospital dynamic elevation of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and early neurological deterioration (END) as well as 3-month functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

methodsData of AIS patients who underwent two hs-cTnT measurements during hospitalization between March 2017 and November 2024 were extracted from the Comparison Influence to Prognosis of CTP and MRP in AIS Patients (CIPPIS) database (NCT03367286) for retrospective analysis. Patients were categorized into a dynamic elevation group and a non-elevation group based on whether their hs-cTnT increased by more than 20% from the baseline level. The incidences of END and 3-month functional independence were compared between the two groups. END was defined as a ≥4-point increase in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score within 7 days of onset, and functional independence was defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 0-2. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between hs-cTnT dynamic elevation and the outcomes. Sensitivity analysis (excluding patients with acute myocardial infarction or severe renal dysfunction) and subgroup analyses were performed to assess the robustness of the findings.

resultsA total of 1049 patients were included (median age 73 years). Among them, 406 patients (38.7%) were female, 226 patients (21.5%) exhibited hs-cTnT dynamic elevation. Compared with the non-elevation group, the dynamic elevation group had a significantly higher incidence of END (9.71%

conclusionsIn patients with AIS, dynamic elevation of hs-cTnT is independently associated with an increased risk of END and poorer 3-month functional outcomes. This association may reflect the adverse impact of acute myocardial injury on stroke prognosis.
