Lipid on stroke in intracranial artery atherosclerotic stenosis: a mediation role of glucose.

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: Expanding on previous investigations, this study aims to elucidate the role of lipid metabolism disorders in the development of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) and the determination of stroke risk. The primary objective is to explore the connections between lipid parameters and acute ischemic stroke (AIS), while also examining the potential mediating influence of fasting glucose levels. Methods: Retrospectively, we collected data from symptomatic ICAS patients at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, including their baseline information such as medical histories and admission blood biochemical parameters. Stenotic conditions were evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography angiography, or digital subtraction angiography. The associations between lipid parameters and AIS risks were investigated via multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 1103 patients with symptomatic ICAS were recruited, among whom 441 (40.0%) suffered new ischemic events during hospitalization. After adjusting for confounding factors, the RCS curves exhibited a dose-response relationship between the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and AIS. Further multivariate analysis revealed significant associations between these parameters and AIS. Furthermore, mediation analysis indicated that fasting blood glucose (FBG) acted as a mediator in the association between lipid parameters (AIP, TC, and TG) and AIS. Conclusion: Higher lipid parameters in ICAS patients, particularly AIP, TC, and TG, were associated with an increased AIS risk. Additionally, FBG may mediate stroke risk in ICAS patients, highlighting the need for further exploration of underlying mechanisms.
