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

objectiveMinor strokes may be associated with early neurological deterioration (END) and disabilities. The objective was to investigate the role of serum glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) levels in predicting END.

methodsData originated from a multicenter cohort study conducted prospectively. ΔGFAP was calculated as the ratio of post-thrombolysis GFAP at 24 h to baseline GFAP. Univariable and multivariable binary logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the association between ∆GFAP and END, and a nomogram was established to illustrate its predictive value.

resultsEND occurred in 20 (7.35%) of the 272 patients with minor stroke who underwent intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). Elevated ∆GFAP was independently associated with END (OR, 3.50; 95% CI, 1.67 to 7.31; p < 0.001), even after adjusting for confounders (adjusted OR, 4.64; 95% CI, 1.86 to 11.54; p < 0.001). Furthermore, a model combining ∆GFAP, age, and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at admission demonstrated a good predictive value for END (AUC = 0.77; 95% CI, 0.67 to 0.89).

interpretation∆GFAP is a strong, independent predictor of END in patients with minor strokes. Integrating ∆GFAP, age, and NIHSS score into a prognostic model results in a good discriminative ability for predicting END.
