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: Our study aims to utilize unsupervised machine learning methods to perform inflammation clustering on stroke patients via novel CBC-derived inflammatory indicators (NLR, PLR, NPAR, SII, SIRI, and AISI), evaluate the mortality risk among these different clusters and construct prognostic models to provide reference for clinical management. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from stroke participants in the U.S. NHANES 1999-2018. Weighted multivariate logistic regression was used to construct different models; consensus clustering methods were employed to subtype stroke patients based on inflammatory marker levels; LASSO regression analysis was used to construct an inflammatory risk score model to analyze the survival risks of different inflammatory subtypes; WQS regression, Cox regression, as well as XGBoost, random forest, and SVMRFE machine learning methods were used to screen hub markers which affected stroke prognosis; finally, a prognostic nomogram model based on hub inflammatory markers was constructed and evaluated using calibration and DCA curves. Results: A total of 918 stroke patients with a median follow-up of 79 months and 369 deaths. Weighted multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that high SIRI and NPAR levels were significantly positively correlated with increased all-cause mortality risk in stroke patients ( Conclusion: This study shows NPAR and SIRI were key prognostic inflammatory markers and positively correlated with mortality risk (
