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 and purpose: The baseline glucose-to-potassium ratio (GPR) is associated with poor outcomes in patients with acute brain injury and intracranial hemorrhage. However, the impact of serum GPR on clinical outcomes after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the GPR at admission and functional outcomes at 90 days after EVT. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed our database for patients with acute ischemic stroke involving an anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion who received EVT between October 2019 and December 2021. The baseline serum GPR was measured after admission. The primary outcome was a 90-day poor outcome, which was defined as a modified Rankin scale score of 3-6. Results: A total of 273 patients (mean age, 70.9 ± 11.9 years; 161 men) were finally included for analyses. During the 90-day follow-up, 151 patients (55.3%) experienced an unfavorable outcome. After adjusting for demographic characteristics and other potential confounders, the increased GPR was significantly associated with a higher risk of a 90-day poor outcome (odds ratio, 1.852; 95% confidence interval, 1.276-2.688, Conclusion: Our study found that ischemic stroke patients with the higher GPR at admission were more likely to have an unfavorable prognosis at 3 months, suggesting that GPR may be a potential prognostic biomarker for ischemic stroke after EVT.
