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: The presence of parental arterial disease (PAD) is correlated with the outcomes of patients with a single subcortical infarction (SSI). Due to the relatively low incidence of PAD, the predictors of outcomes seem to be limited for SSI patients without PAD. This study aims to investigate the association between asymptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (aIAS) and outcomes in patients with SSI and in the subgroup without PAD. Methods: Patients with SSI were consecutively enrolled. aIAS referred to a stenosis of ≥50% in intracranial arteries irrelevant to SSI by using magnetic resonance angiography. A poor outcome refers to a modified Ranking Scale >2 points at discharge. Results: In total, 298 participants were enrolled. The presence of aIAS could predict a poor outcome for all SSI patients [adjusted relative risk (aRR) = 2.14, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.17-3.93, Conclusion: The presence of aIAS is a predictor of a poor outcome in SSI patients, especially in those without PAD.
