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 and purpose: Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) remains a critical complication of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS), yet reliable pre-thrombolysis predictors are limited. We investigated whether pan-immune inflammation value (PIV) and neutrophil-to-albumin ratio (NAR), individually and in combination, are associated with HT and its subtypes. Methods: In this dual-center retrospective cohort study, 4,313 AIS patients treated with IVT were included. PIV and NAR were calculated from routine baseline blood tests. The primary outcome was any HT, with secondary outcomes including ECASS-classified subtypes: hemorrhagic infarction (HI1, HI2) and parenchymal hematoma (PH1, PH2). Associations were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression, restricted cubic spline (RCS) modeling, subgroup analyses, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results: Hemorrhagic transformation patients exhibited significantly higher PIV and NAR than non-HT patients, with the highest levels in PH1 and PH2. Multivariable analyses identified both PIV and NAR as independent predictors of overall HT, PH1, and PH2. Joint high PIV and NAR conferred a markedly increased risk (OR = 6.63, 95% CI: 4.78-9.17). Subgroup analyses confirmed the consistency of associations across age, sex, baseline NIHSS, and comorbidities. RCS modeling demonstrated a logarithmic non-linear relationship between these inflammatory markers and HT risk (non-linearity Conclusion: Elevated PIV and NAR are independently associated with increased risk of HT, particularly PH1 and PH2, after IVT in AIS patients. Integrating these biomarkers enhances predictive performance, supporting their potential utility in multidimensional risk stratification before thrombolysis.
