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

purposeThere remains a lack of epidemiological data and evidence regarding risk factors for intracranial arterial dissection (IAD) worldwide, making it difficult to make a more timely and accurate clinical diagnosis. We aimed to identify risk factors, clinical and imaging features of spontaneous IAD (sIAD) using a case-control design.

methodsWe collected data on sIAD patients admitted to Tongji Hospital in Wuhan, China from June 2017 to June 2024. Non-IAD ischemic stroke (IS) and non-IAD intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients served as control groups. Logistic regression models analyzed the three data sets, with results expressed as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).

resultsAfter screening, 71 patients with sIAD, 84 patients with non-IAD IS and 102 patients with non-IAD ICH were included in this study. The findings showed that the participants with diabetes had a lower likelihood of sIAD than non-IAD IS (OR = 0.145, 95%CI = 0.030-0.702). Compared with non-IAD ICH patients, individuals with sIAD had lower systolic blood pressure on admission (OR = 0.941, 95%CI = 0.900-0.983) and less likely to be young (OR = 0.911, 95%CI = 0.855-0.970). Serological data showed that compared with non-IAD ICH patients, elevated triglyceride (OR = 0.326, 95%CI = 0.179-0.594) were associated with the reduced likelihood of sIAD, whereas the opposite was true for uric acid levels (OR = 1.007, 95%CI = 1.000-1.014). In imaging, sIAD patients showed the largest number of arterial lumen dilatation, followed by stenosis with dilatation.

conclusionsDiabetes may be associated with a reduced likelihood of sIAD. Differences in serologic markers may help in the differential diagnosis of sIAD from other cerebrovascular events.
