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

Objective: To systematically evaluate the rate and risk factors for unplanned readmission in patients with ischemic stroke (IS), providing an evidence-based foundation for developing targeted prevention strategies. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, Weipu Data and SinoMed databases for studies on the rate and risk factors of unplanned readmission in IS patients from their inception to July 30, 2025. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening, quality assessment, and data extraction. Meta-analysis was performed. Results: A total of 44 studies involving 1,274,267 patients were included. The pooled rate of 30-day readmission was 14.2% (95% CI 11-18%), increasing to 13.9% at 90 days and 30.3% at 12 months, with substantial heterogeneity across studies ( Conclusion: This meta-analysis clarifies and updates the rate and core risk factors for unplanned readmission in ischemic stroke patients. It provides an evidence-based foundation for systematically identifying high-risk patients, developing risk assessment tools, and implementing targeted interventions, holding significant value for guiding clinical practice.
