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: Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) remains a neglected area despite its high morbidity and mortality. We aimed to establish an easy-to-use model for predicting SAP. Methods: Two hundred seventy-five acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients were enrolled, and 73 (26.55%) patients were diagnosed with SAP. Results: Three variables with the most significant associations, including age, NGT placement, and right cerebral hemisphere lesions combined with gender, were used to construct a stroke-associated pneumonia prediction scale with high accuracy (AUC = 0.93). Youden index of our SAP prediction model was 0.77. The sensitivity and specificity of our SAP prediction model were 0.89 and 0.88, respectively. Conclusion: We identified the best predictive model for SAP in AIS patients. Our study aimed to be as clinically relevant as possible, focusing on features that are routinely available. The contribution of selected variables is visually displayed through SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP). Our model can help to distinguish AIS patients of high-risk, provide specific management, reduce healthcare costs and prevent life-threatening complications and even death.
