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

backgroundStroke is a complex neurological condition characterized by high rates of incidence, recurrence, disability, and mortality, making it one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. The Naples prognostic score (NPS), an index that combines markers of inflammation and nutritional status, has demonstrated prognostic value in various diseases. This research investigated the relationships among NPS, stroke prevalence, and overall mortality in stroke individuals, drawing on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2007 to 2018.

methodsThe cross-sectional analysis included 20,798 participants aged beyond 40 years with 1155 persons with stroke analyzed for mortality. Stroke prevalence was self-reported, and the NPS was derived from serum albumin, total cholesterol, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (Galizia et al. in Cancer 60:1273-1284, 2017). Weighted Logistic regression and Cox models assessed associations among NPS, stroke, and mortality, adjusting for demographic and clinical factors.

resultsHigher NPS scores were linked to increased stroke prevalence (OR 3.573, 95% CI 2.745-4.652, P < 0.001) and elevated all-cause mortality risk (HR 3.281, 95% CI 1.978-5.442, P < 0.001) in stroke individuals. The triglyceride-glucose index (TYG) significantly modified the relationship between the NPS and stroke prevalence.

conclusionThis study supports the clinical utility of the NPS as a predictor of both stroke prevalence and all-cause mortality. The NPS may serve as a valuable tool for risk stratification in stroke prevention and long-term prognosis.
