Factors associated with symptom relief and lesion formation in acute ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack.
Article in BMC neurology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPatient symptoms have not been a primary consideration in ischemic stroke management. However, symptom evaluation in ischemic stroke may enhance the quality of care and improve prognosis. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine the factors associated with symptom relief and lesions in ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA).
methodsThis retrospective study included patients with ischemic stroke or TIA between April 2020 and February 2024 in a tertiary regional general hospital. The 2436 patients who met the inclusion criteria were classified based on symptom persistence and the presence of stroke lesions. Factors related to symptom relief and lesion formation were analyzed using comparative and multivariate regression analyses.
resultsThrough multivariate regression analysis, we identified significant factors, including age, stroke size, absence of white matter hyperintensities, absence of microbleeds, and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at admission, that affect symptom relief in patients with ischemic stroke lesions. Significant factors affecting lesion formation in patients with ischemic stroke and symptom relief were the NIHSS score at admission, atrial fibrillation, and alcohol intake. The results demonstrated that pathological changes in the brain, pre-existing brain damage, and stroke lesions can prevent symptom relief. The NIHSS score, which indicates stroke severity, was associated with symptom relief and the presence of stroke lesions. Stroke lesion formation was associated with alcohol intake and the presence of atrial fibrillation.
conclusionsThese findings provide valuable insights for the development of management strategies that improve the treatment and prognosis of patients with acute ischemic stroke.
