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 and anemia are major public health concerns in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, few data are available on anemia and acute ischemic stroke in our setting. Purpose: To assess the impact of anemia on the outcome of patients with ischemic stroke. Methods: We collected retrospectively data of patients >15 years hospitalized for ischemic stroke at the Douala General Hospital over a period of 9 years, in whom full blood count was done. Anemia was classified as mild, moderate and severe. Multivariate analysis was used to determine predictive factors of poor outcome at 3 months (mortality and poor functional recovery) in ischemic stroke patients with anemia. Results: A total of 691 patients (male, 53.3 %) male were included. Anemia was found in 44.4 % of cases (severe anemia, 10.4 %). Severe anemia was significantly associated with poor functional recovery at 3 months (OR:4.43, 95 %CI:1.02-12.24, Conclusion: Anemia is common in ischemic stroke cases and must be systematically screened.
