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: Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) is a common and serious complication of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet (HALP) score reflects nutritional, inflammatory, and immune status, but its association with SAP remains unclear. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 1,766 consecutive AIS patients admitted between January 2019 and December 2023. HALP was calculated from blood tests obtained within 48 h of admission. Multivariable logistic regression, receiver operating characteristic analysis, subgroup analysis, generalized additive modeling, and two-piecewise logistic regression were used to evaluate the association between HALP and SAP and to explore threshold effects. Results: SAP occurred in 376 patients (21.3%). HALP was significantly lower in patients with SAP than in those without SAP [35.08 (18.59-51.86) vs. 44.55 (31.29-63.25), Conclusion: Low HALP score was independently and non-linearly associated with SAP in AIS, with an exploratory threshold near 27.7 that may help inform future risk-stratification research.
