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

introductionThe role of serum uric acid (UA) levels in the functional recovery of ischemic stroke remains uncertain. To evaluate whether UA could predict clinical outcomes in patients with ischemic stroke. PATIENTS AND

methodsA three-stage study design was employed, combining a large-scale prospective cohort study, a meta-analysis and a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Firstly, we conducted a cohort study using data from the Nanjing Stroke Registry Program (NSRP) to assess the association between UA levels and 3-month functional outcomes in ischemic stroke patients. Secondly, the meta-analysis was conducted to integrate currently available cohort evidence. Lastly, MR analysis was utilized to explore whether genetically determined UA had a causal link to the functional outcomes of ischemic stroke using summary data from the CKDGen and GISCOME datasets.

resultsIn the first stage, the cohort study included 5631 patients and found no significant association between UA levels and functional outcomes at 3 months after ischemic stroke. In the second stage, the meta-analysis, including 10 studies with 14,657 patients, also showed no significant association between UA levels and stroke prognosis. Finally, in the third stage, MR analysis using data from 6165 patients in the GISCOME study revealed no evidence of a causal relationship between genetically determined UA and stroke functional outcomes. DISCUSSION AND

conclusionOur comprehensive triangulation approach found no significant association between UA levels and functional outcomes at 3 months after ischemic stroke.
