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
Introduction: The incidence of minor ischemic stroke (MIS) and associated cognitive impairment is rising, particularly among younger individuals. Thus, both primary and secondary prevention strategies are essential. Aim: This study investigated the risk factors for cerebral artery stenosis (CAS) in patients with MIS classified as large atherosclerosis (LAA) by TOAST, and examined the relationship between cognitive function and plasma lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 levels. Material and methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 789 MIS patients admitted to two hospitals between January 2015 and December 2023. Patients were classified using the TOAST criteria, with vascular stenosis detected via computed tomography angiography (CTA) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for CAS among LAA-type MIS patients. Results: Among the 789 patients, 494 (62.61%) had LAA. A total of 377 (76.32%) patients exhibited LAA-type vascular stenosis. Significant risk factors for CAS included a history of hypertension, diabetes, ischemic stroke, elevated fasting blood glucose, and plasma lipoprotein-associated phospholipase 2 levels ( Conclusions: LAA is the predominant cause of MIS, with high rates of vascular stenosis. Hypertension and elevated plasma lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 levels are significant independent risk factors for CAS, and increased plasma lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 correlates negatively with cognitive function.
