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

aimThe D-dimer to fibrinogen ratio (DFR) represents an emerging and significant clinical biomarker. However, its correlation with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) remains underexplored. This retrospective cohort study aims to elucidate the association between DFR values and the severity and prognosis of CVT.

methodsSevere CVT was defined as the presence of at least 1 of the following risk factors: mental status disorder, coma state, intracranial cerebral hemorrhage, or thrombosis of the deep cerebral venous system. The modified Rankin Scale was utilized to assess functional outcomes. DFR measurements were obtained within 24 h of hospital admission. Logistic regression analysis was employed to determine the prognostic significance of DFR. After Bonferroni correction, a two-tailed P value < 0.017 (0.05/3) was considered statistically significant.

resultA total of 196 patients were included in the study, among whom 85 patients were diagnosed with severe CVT, and 35 and 14 patients experienced short-term and long-term adverse outcomes, respectively. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that DFR has predictive value for severe CVT, poor short-term and long-term outcomes, with area under the curve values of 0.690 [95% CI: 0.617-0.764, P < .001], 0.773 [95% CI: 0.701-0.845, P < .001], and 0.754 [95% CI: 0.619-0.886, P = .002], respectively. DFR ≥ 0.253 was identified as a significant predictor of severe CVT [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) (95% CI): 2.03 (1.10-3.75), P = .024]. Additionally, DFR ≥ 0.322 and DFR ≥ 0.754 were significantly associated with poor short-term outcomes at discharge [aOR (95% CI): 2.63 (1.43-4.76), P = .002] and poor long-term outcomes at 12 months [aOR (95% CI): 2.86 (1.32-6.25), P = .008], respectively.

conclusionElevated DFR is associated with increased severity of CVT. Additionally, higher DFR levels can predict poorer clinical outcomes in CVT.
