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: The atrial fibrillation detected after stroke (AFDAS) confers an elevated risk of unfavorable outcomes for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients, necessitating early identification of high-risk patients. Method: This study was a secondary analysis of data from the prospective, multicenter China National Stroke Registry II (CNSR-II). AFDAS was defined as a new atrial fibrillation episode (> 30 s) detected after the onset of AIS. Patients who had AFDAS but without prior atrial fibrillation history were included in this study. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify risk factors linked to AFDAS. All patients were followed for 1 year to assess stroke recurrence. And then we explored the relationship between AFDAS and ischemic stroke recurrence by using multivariable logistic regression analysis. Results: Among 23,446 patients, 572 (2.4%) developed AFDAS. These patients were older and had more severe neurological deficits on admission than those who remained in sinus rhythm. Independent risk factors for AFDAS included older age (≥ 65 years: OR = 2.14, 95% CI: 1.44-3.16), history of coronary arterial disease (OR = 1.88, 95% CI: 1.22-2.92), elevated C-reactive protein (OR = 1.02, 95% CI: 1.01-1.02), and lower triglyceride levels (OR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.61-0.96). During a 1-year follow-up, recurrent stroke occurred in 1,467 patients (6.3%). The recurrence rate was significantly higher in the AFDAS group than in the SR group (11.7% vs. 6.1%, Conclusions: Older age, coronary heart disease history, and inflammatory marker (CRP) may assist in early identification of AFDAS, a condition associated with significantly increased stroke recurrence risk. Targeted monitoring and secondary prevention strategies are warranted, especially for AFDAS patients with prior cerebrovascular or cardiac comorbidities.
