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: Post-stroke depression (PSD) commonly complicates acute ischemic stroke (AIS), with insulin resistance (IR)-mediated metabolic disturbances proposed as an underlying pathophysiological link. The triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL)-a validated, cost-effective surrogate for IR-has preliminary associations with depressive symptoms. However, the relationship between TG/HDL and the risk of PSD in patients with AIS remains unclear. Methods: A cohort of 519 AIS patients was retrospectively analyzed (October 2023-December 2024). The primary outcome was 90-day PSD, diagnosed via the HAMD-24 (score > 7). Multivariable logistic regression assessed the independent association between admission TG/HDL and PSD. Nonlinear associations were assessed using restricted cubic splines (RCS). Results: Thirty-three point nine percent of patients developed PSD. The TG/HDL ratio was an independent predictor of PSD (Model 3: OR = 1.5634, 95% CI: 1.0097-2.4281, Conclusions: Admission TG/HDL ratio was independently associated with 90-day PSD, suggesting that it may serve as a convenient metabolic marker for identifying patients at higher risk of developing PSD. The observed non-linear pattern requires cautious interpretation and validation in larger prospective cohorts.
