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: Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) is common and imposes a significant burden upon both families and society. There is limited information on biomarkers for PSCI. This study investigated the correlation between blood biomarkers and post-ischaemic stroke cognitive impairment, to identify potential blood biomarkers and their efficacy in predicting the disorder. Methods: This prospective study enrolled patients who had experienced their first acute ischaemic stroke between January 2024 and March 2025. Patients underwent blood tests within 24 h of admission, which measured plasma levels of Aβ1-40, Aβ1-42, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), neurofilament light chain (NFL), p-Tau181, p-Tau217, Aβ42/40, and p-Tau217/Aβ1-42. The cognitive function of the patients was assessed at the three-month follow-up visit using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) scale. Participants were divided into a cognitive impairment group and a cognitively normal group with a MoCA cutoff score of 22. Results: A total of 128 patients who had experienced a first ischaemic stroke were included in the analysis. At the three-month post-stroke follow-up, 69 patients (53.9%) were allocated to the PSCI group, with 59 patients (46.1%) in the cognitively normal group. After univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, plasma GFAP (OR = 1.0027, 95% CI = 1.0002-1.0053, Conclusion: Elevated plasma GFAP and NFL levels are associated with an increased risk of post-ischaemic stroke cognitive impairment. Plasma GFAP and NFL may represent potential biological markers for PSCI. The combination of the two parameters showed superior predictive efficacy for PSCI.
