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: This study was designed to identify key predictors of non-return to work (non-RTW) in young and middle-aged patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO) after endovascular therapy (EVT). Based on these predictors, we developed and validated an individualized nomogram for non-RTW risk stratification to facilitate early identification of high-risk patients and guide personalized rehabilitation for better functional recovery and less occupational loss. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 350 consecutive AIS-LVO patients who underwent EVT at Dongguan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine (July 2018-July 2025) were included. Potential predictors were selected using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, and independent predictors were identified via multivariable logistic regression. A nomogram was constructed and assessed for discrimination using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), for calibration using calibration curves and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test, and for clinical utility via decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: Six independent predictors of non-RTW were identified: instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), admission NIHSS score, Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) score, balance impairment (as measured by the Berg Balance Scale, BBS), post-stroke rehabilitation (Rehab), and anxiety-depressive state (ADS). The nomogram demonstrated robust discriminative performance (AUC = 0.858, 95% CI: 0.812-0.903). Calibration curves confirmed favorable calibration between predicted and observed probabilities. Decision curve and clinical impact analyses revealed clinically meaningful net benefit across most threshold probabilities. Conclusion: We developed and validated a clinically actionable nomogram to predict non-RTW in young and middle-aged AIS-LVO patients after EVT. This tool enables early risk stratification and personalized rehabilitation planning, promoting long-term functional and vocational recovery.
