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

objectiveTo compare the clinical outcomes among various infarct patterns and to investigate the associations between the morphological parameters of contralateral middle cerebral artery (cMCA) M

methodsPatients with stroke attributed to M

resultsA total of 171 participants were enrolled. Compared to AAE, the risk of poor outcome increased in BZI (odds ratio [OR] = 5.51, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.71-17.78, p = 0.004) and large infarct (OR = 10.92, 95% CI = 2.01-59.27, p = 0.006) and was comparable in PAI. The tortuosity index (OR = 2.85, 95% CI = 1.13-7.18, p = 0.026) and arc length (OR = 2.47, 95% CI = 1.02-5.97, p = 0.045) significantly increased in BZI than other three patterns. Participants other than BZI were categorized into large infarct (n = 32) and non-large-infarct (n = 46) groups, and the proximal diameter (OR = 0.22, 95% CI = 0.07-0.72, p = 0.012), arc length (OR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.78-0.98, p = 0.018), and chord length (OR = 0.87, 95% CI = 0.77-0.995, p = 0.042) were associated with large infarct.
