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: To investigate whether early estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) fluctuation is associated with 180-day functional outcome in patients with large-artery atherosclerotic stroke undergoing endovascular thrombectomy. Methods: We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke attributed to large-artery atherosclerosis who underwent endovascular thrombectomy between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024. Among 108 patients with 180-day follow-up, 93 had at least two actual eGFR measurements within the first 7 days and comprised the primary complete-case cohort; the full 108-patient cohort after multiple imputation was examined in a sensitivity analysis. Early eGFR fluctuation was defined as the absolute difference between the maximum and minimum eGFR values within 7 days after admission. Poor functional outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of 3-6 at 180 days. Results: In the primary cohort of 93 patients, 54 had poor functional outcomes. Greater early eGFR fluctuation was associated with poor 180-day functional outcome (adjusted OR per 1 mL/min/1.73 m2 increase, 1.078; 95% CI, 1.019-1.139; Conclusion: Greater early eGFR fluctuation was associated with poor 180-day functional outcome after thrombectomy in patients with large-artery atherosclerotic stroke. Early eGFR fluctuation may represent an exploratory prognostic marker that requires prospective external validation.
