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: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease and a leading cause of stroke. Systemic inflammatory biomarkers are recognized predictors of coronary artery disease. However, their association with cerebral atherosclerosis remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the relationship between systemic inflammatory indices and cerebral atherosclerotic burden. Methods: A cohort of 5444 patients was enrolled. Cerebral atherosclerotic stenosis was evaluated using DSA, CTA, or MRA. The systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) were calculated and natural-log-transformed (ln-SIRI, ln-SII). The associations of ln-SIRI and ln-SII with the presence, severity (maximal stenosis degree) and extent (number of lesions) of cerebral atherosclerosis were evaluated using binary logistic regression, ordered logistic regression and restricted cubic spline models. Subgroup analyses were further conducted across clinically relevant strata to assess the consistency of these associations. Additionally, the diagnostic performance of both indices was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: Patients with cerebral atherosclerotic stenosis had significantly higher ln-SIRI (OR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.19-1.35) and ln-SII (OR: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.15-1.30) compared to the non-stenosis group (both Conclusion: The systemic inflammatory indices ln-SIRI and ln-SII are significantly associated with the presence, severity and extent of cerebral atherosclerosis. These easily obtainable biomarkers may hold promise for improving risk stratification in cerebrovascular diseases.
