Association between atherogenic index of plasma and sepsis in critically ill patients with ischemic stroke: a retrospective cohort study using propensity score and machine learning approaches.

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
backgroundSepsis is a severe and frequent complication among ischemic stroke patients during hospitalization. The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), as metabolism-related markers, are closely linked to inflammation. However, their relationship with ischemic stroke sepsis remains unclear.
methodsWe examined the potential association between sepsis and elevated AIP Levels in 1,531 ischemic stroke intensive care unit patients from the MIMIC-IV database. Logistic regression, restricted cubic splines, and propensity score matching were used to assess associations. Machine learning models were additionally applied to evaluate model performance with and without AIP and to assess its incremental value.
resultsHigher AIP levels were significantly associated with the development of sepsis. In the fully adjusted model, AIP (OR = 1.75, 95% CI: 1.12-2.71) were independently associated with an increased likelihood of sepsis. Analysis showed that patients in the high AIP group (Q3) exhibited the strongest association with sepsis (OR = 1.51, 95% CI: 1.09-2.09), and this association remained robust after propensity score matching (PSM) (OR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.01-1.82). In machine learning models, AIP was retained as a contributing feature, and its inclusion improved model discrimination.
conclusionAIP were independently associated with sepsis risk and may complement risk stratification in clinical practice.
