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
Aim: The interaction between inflammatory biomarkers (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, hsCRP) and antioxidants (uric acid, UA) regarding prognosis after ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) remains inadequately explored. This study aimed to assess (1) the individual and joint effects of hsCRP and UA, and (2) the neuroprotective role of UA in patients with elevated hsCRP levels concerning poor functional outcomes at 90 days. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted involving 2140 consecutive ischemic stroke or TIA patients with hsCRP and UA levels. The primary outcome was defined as a poor functional outcome, indicated by a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 3-6 at 90 days, with a shift in the mRS score as a secondary outcome. Logistic regression and propensity score (PS) analyses were employed to ensure robustness. Results: Poor functional outcome occurred in 345 (16.1%) patients. Individual effects found that the highest quartiles of hsCRP (adjusted OR = 3.090; 95% CI 2.150-4.442) and UA (adjusted OR = 0.671; 95% CI 0.551-0.883) were associated with increased or decreased risk of poor functional outcome, respectively. Joint effects (adjusted OR = 3.994; 95% CI 2.758-5.640) between hsCRP and UA on the primary outcome were more apparent in patients with high hsCRP levels (hsCRP > 1.60 mg/L) and low UA levels (UA ≤ 291.85 µmol/L). For the patients with high hsCRP levels, patients with low UA levels had a higher risk of primary and secondary outcomes, compared with those with high UA levels, after unadjusted or adjusted for hsCRP. Similar and reliable results were observed in PS-based models. Conclusion: In patients with ischemic stroke or TIA, joint high levels of hsCRP and low UA levels significantly correlate with increased risk of poor functional outcome at 90 days. In addition, high UA levels could reduce the risk of poor functional outcome for patients with high hsCRP levels.
