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
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the status quo of prehospital delay in young and middle-aged AIS patients and analyze the main factors affecting prehospital delay in young and middle-aged AIS patients. Thus, it can provide reference for reducing prehospital delay in young and middle-aged AIS patients and promote secondary prevention of stroke. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from May 2023 to February 2024 using convenient sampling method, and included middle-aged and young ischemic stroke patients from two top three hospitals in Hunan Province. Through questionnaire survey, social support scale, health literacy scale and medical coping style scale were used to investigate. Results: A total of 671 patients were investigated. According to the standard of 3 h from the onset of symptoms to the hospital, middle-aged and young stroke patients were divided into delayed group and non-delayed group. The results showed that 534 patients with pre-hospital delay occurred, with an incidence of 79.6%. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the factors that extended the pre-hospital time of patients were: The onset place was at home (OR = 4.997, Conclusion: The incidence of pre-hospital delay in young and middle-aged ischemic stroke patients is high, and the current situation is not optimistic. Factors affecting pre-hospital delay in young and middle-aged AIS patients included location of onset, first symptoms, whether they knew that the onset was AIS, level of social support, health literacy, and coping style. In the future, these aspects can be considered to reduce the delayed development of AIS in young and middle-aged people before hospital and promote secondary prevention of stroke.
