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: Hyperglycemia is acknowledged as a pivotal factor associated with poor prognosis in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The intricate interplay among hyperglycemia, thrombosis, and inflammation has garnered significant attention. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association between hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and risk of thrombosis, and the role of inflammation, in patients with AIS. Methods: A total of 1,291 patients with AIS were identified from Xiyuan Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. A propensity score matching was used to address baseline imbalances. AIS patients were divided into a high HbA1c group (n = 419) and a control group (n = 656) based on whether their initial HbA1c levels upon admission were above or below 6.5%. Thrombosis was assessed using coagulation parameters. Inflammation was reflected by markers such as the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI). Chi-square test, independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and logistic regression were used for correlation analysis. Results: In AIS patients, HbA1c levels > 6.5% were significantly associated with abnormal coagulation function and elevated inflammatory response. Among AIS patients with elevated HbA1c, high fibrinogen levels were significantly correlated with increased inflammatory markers such as SII and SIRI. Furthermore, HbA1c > 6.5% was identified as an independent predictor for hypercoagulability in AIS patients ( Conclusions: Elevated HbA1c levels were associated with severe hypercoagulability and heightened inflammatory responses following AIS onset. Elevated HbA1c levels may contribute to poorer outcomes, likely due to the thromboinflammation.
