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

backgroundCerebral infarction requires the reduction of blood lipids, but low triglycerides are associated with poor prognosis. stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) can also lead to poor prognosis. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between triglycerides (TG) and SAP.

methodsThis prospective cohort study was conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University and enrolled consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted between March 2019 and March 2021. Univariate analysis, Multivariable logistic regression analysis, subgroup analysis, curve fitting, inflection point analysis, stratified and interaction analyses was performed to examine the relationship between blood TG and SAP.

resultsThe study included 240 patients with acute ischemic stroke (92 females, mean age 68 years), of whom 94 developed SAP. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that TG levels were independently associated with SAP. The fitting curve shows a linear relationship between TG level and SAP incidence, with a decrease in SAP incidence as TG increases. The inflection point value is TG = 2.6mmol/L.

conclusionsThe findings suggest that TG levels may be inversely associated with the risk of SAP in elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke.
