Preexisting Heart Disease Spectrum and In-Hospital Outcomes for Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke.
Article in Stroke (Hoboken, N.J.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Although many studies have examined the influence of individual preexisting heart conditions on stroke outcomes, the combined effects of these conditions remain understudied. Methods: The data supporting this study's findings are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request. Data on patients with acute ischemic stroke from the Third China National Stroke Registry were analyzed. Preexisting heart disease spectrum was defined based on the combination pattern of coronary heart disease, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure. In-hospital stroke outcomes included moderate or severe stroke at admission (the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score ≥16), ambulation by day 2, and in-hospital death. Results: Among the 14 019 analyzed patients, 1856 (13.2%) had preexisting heart diseases, of which the most common single heart disease was coronary heart disease (1313 [70.7%]), and the most common combination was coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation (116 [6.3%]). Patients with preexisting heart diseases had higherprevalence of moderate or severe stroke at admission (4.7% versus 1.9%; adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.25 [95% CI, 1.73-2.93]), in-hospital mortality (0.5% versus 0.2%; aOR, 2.41 [95% CI, 1.11-5.25]), and a lower rate of ambulation by day 2 (73.9% versus 78.6%; aOR, 0.84 [95% CI, 0.75-0.95]). Atrial fibrillation alone (moderate or severe stroke: aOR, 4.82 [95% CI, 3.29-7.06]; in-hospital mortality: aOR, 4.76 [95% CI, 1.58-14.36]; ambulation by day 2: aOR, 0.58 [95% CI, 0.46-0.72]) or in combination with coronary heart disease and heart failure (moderate or severe stroke: aOR, 11.47 [95% CI, 3.66-35.89]; ambulation by day 2: aOR, 0.41 [95% CI, 0.16-1.05]) had the strongest association with unfavorable outcomes. Conclusion: Preexisting heart diseases, particularly atrial fibrillation combined with other heart diseases, are associated with unfavorable in-hospital stroke outcomes.
