The Smoking Paradox in Stroke Patients Under Reperfusion Treatment Is Associated With Endothelial Dysfunction.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Objective: This study aimed to explore the association between smoking habit and the serum levels of soluble tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (sTWEAK), in relation with the functional outcome of patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing reperfusion treatment. Methods: Observational and retrospective study of a series of patients with acute ischemic stroke subjected to reperfusion treatments. Clinical, analytical, and neuroimaging parameters were analyzed. The main endpoint was the functional outcome at 3 months, measured by the modified Ranking Scale (mRS). Logistic regression models were used to analyze the association between smoking and sTWEAK levels with functional outcome and leukoaraiosis. Results: The results showed that smoking habit was associated with a good functional outcome at 3 months in patients with stroke (OR: 3.52; 95% CI: 1.03-11.9; Conclusion: The decrease in sTWEAK levels was associated with a good functional outcome in smoker patients with stroke undergoing reperfusion therapy.
