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

The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has emerged as a novel biomarker in vascular diseases. We investigated its association with hemorrhagic transformation after endovascular therapy (EVT), stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR), early neurological deterioration (END), and long-term clinical outcomes in acute ischemic stroke. We screened consecutive ischemic stroke patients eligible for EVT between May 2014 and May 2025. Inclusion criteria were: (1) availability of admission SII, calculated as platelets×neutrophils/lymphocytes [10³/µL]; and (2) assessment of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) after EVT, defined as an NIHSS score worsening ≥4. SHR was defined as admission glucose [mg/dL]/(28.7 × HbA1c [%]-46.7). END was defined as neurological worsening of NIHSS ≥ 2 within 72 h after admission. An unfavorable outcome was defined as an mRS score of 4-6 at 3 months. Of 336 screened patients, 317 (161 men; median age, 80 years) were included. Symptomatic ICH was observed in 30 (9%). Higher SII was significantly associated with symptomatic ICH across all multivariable models (p < 0.005). Higher SII was also associated with Safe Implementation of Treatments in Stroke-Monitoring Study (SITS-MOST)-defined parenchymal hematoma type 2 and type 1 at 24 h after EVT (p < 0.005). In addition, SII positively correlated with SHR (B 1090, 95% CI 636 - 1544, p < 0.001), and was associated with END (PR 1.119, 95% CI 1.002 - 1.249, p = 0.045) and unfavorable outcome (PR 1.119, 95% CI 1.029 - 1.217, p = 0.009). Elevated SII reflects acute immune-inflammatory imbalance and stress response in ischemic stroke undergoing EVT and may serve as a predictor of hemorrhagic complications and unfavorable outcomes.
