Secular trends in the cardiovascular risk profile and mortality of stroke admissions in an inner city, multiethnic population in the United Kingdom (1997-2005).

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
Our objective was to study ethnic differences in the cardiovascular risk profile and mortality of stroke admissions to an inner city teaching hospital serving a multiethnic population in Birmingham, UK, over a 9-year period (1997-2005). Hospital case notes and registry data of 3083 patients admitted with a first onset stroke were reviewed. Secular trends in the prevalence of risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, atrial fibrillation and myocardial infarction), hospital admission rates and 30-day mortality among Afro-Caribbean, European Caucasian and South Asian ethnic groups were analysed. Between 1997 and 2005, there were 3083 first onset strokes, of whom 47.6% (1595) were men, 9.3% Afro-Caribbean, 57.8% European Caucasian and 15.1% South Asian. There was a significant trend towards a reduction in non-haemorrhagic stroke admissions over the study period (P<0.001), with no ethnic variation (P=0.07). Increases in hypertension and hyperlipidaemia were observed (P<0.001), whereas myocardial infarction showed a decline (P<0.001). Compared to other ethnic groups, South Asian patients were younger on admission (P<0.001), had more hyperlipidaemia (P<0.05) and poorer survival at 30 days (P=002). We conclude that cardiovascular risk profiles among patients admitted with non-haemorrhagic stroke have changed over the last decade. In particular, hyperlipidaemia has increased, especially among South Asians. The reduced decline in stroke admissions and 30-day survival of stroke in South Asians in recent years warrants further investigation and highlights the importance of a targeted health-care approach in the migrant ethnic minorities.
