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

Objective: Recently, evidence has suggested that the pathophysiology and risk factors of intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) differs from those of extracranial atherosclerosis (ECAS). In addition, novel parameters reflecting metabolic conditions, such as insulin resistance or atherogenic dyslipidemia, based on triglycerides (TG) and other biomarkers, have emerged. In this study, we evaluated the association between TG-related parameters and symptomatic cerebral atherosclerosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke resulting from large artery atherosclerosis (LAA). Methods: We assessed consecutive acute LAA-stroke patients between January 2010 and December 2020. Based on the radiological findings, we classified the relevant symptomatic arteries that caused the index stroke into LAA-ICAS and LAA-ECAS. As TG-related parameters, the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and TG-glucose (TyG) index were calculated according to the following formulas: AIP = log Results: A total of 519 patients with LAA-stroke were evaluated. In multivariable logistic regression analysis to identify predictors of LAA-ICAS, AIP was significantly associated with LAA-ICAS (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 3.60; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.60-8.06). TyG index also showed a statistically significant relationship with LAA-ICAS (aOR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.11-2.32). However, TG per se did not show a statistical association with LAA-ECAS. Conclusion: TG-related parameters were more closely associated with stroke by ICAS than by ECAS. The metabolic conditions reflected by the AIP or TyG index, rather than hypertriglyceridemia itself, may play a greater role in determining the relevant vessel causally involved in a stroke.
