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

Background: Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) is a common complication in patients with stroke and is strongly associated with increased mortality and disability. Thrombotic burden may serve as a potential predictor of SAP. The Wells score, widely used to estimate the probability of thrombosis, offers a practical measure of thrombotic burden. This study aimed to investigate the utility of the Wells score in predicting the risk of SAP. Methods: A total of 755 adult patients diagnosed were retrospectively included. Patients were stratified based on the Wells score into three groups: low risk group (score 0), medium risk group (score 1-2), and high risk group (score ≥3). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the association between the Wells score and the incidence of SAP. Results: A total of 260 patients developed SAP during hospitalization. With the increasing Wells scores, the proportion of SAP showed a rising trend (the low vs. medium vs. high risk group: 16.8% vs. 39.0% vs. 58.4%, Conclusion: A high thrombotic burden is commonly observed in IS patients and is associated with an increased risk of SAP. Further research is needed to clarify the underlying mechanisms.
