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

backgroundHyperlipidemia is a critical element in the etiology of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, the potential link connecting the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) with spontaneous hemorrhagic transformation (sHT) remains obscure, especially in patients managed without reperfusion. We explored the relationship between AIP and sHT in AIS patients and utilized machine learning algorithms to evaluate predictive risk factors for sHT.

methodsWe reviewed 3,116 AIS patients not receiving intravenous thrombolysis or endovascular thrombectomy. AIP was computed as log10(TG/HDL-C). The outcome was sHT. Associations were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) models. Furthermore, we applied 5 machine learning models and used Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) to interpret predictor contributions.

resultssHT occurred in 200 patients (6.4%). In the fully adjusted model, each 1 SD decrease in AIP indicated higher odds of sHT (OR 1.212, 95% CI 1.037–1.420). The RCS regression demonstrated a linear relationship between decreasing AIP and sHT, and the association was significant in patients aged < 65 years. The association differed by age (P for interaction = 0.001). Machine learning models, particularly the Random Forest (RF) model (AUC: 0.813), provided robust prediction for these endpoints and suggested that AIP contributes to the risk of sHT.

conclusionsOur findings suggest that a lower AIP may serve as a potential independent marker for a higher risk of sHT in AIS patients, particularly those younger than 65 years.
