Increased risk of ischemic stroke in patients with burn injury: a nationwide cohort study in Taiwan.
Article in Scandinavian journal of trauma, resuscitation and emergency medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundConflicting results have been obtained by studies attempting to assess the risks of ischemic stroke in patients with burn injury, while the long-term risk of stroke in survivors of burn injury remains unexplored. We evaluated whether the risk of ischemic stroke in patients hospitalized with burn injury in Taiwan is higher when compared to the general population.
methodsThe data from one million National Health Insurance (NHI) adult beneficiaries were evaluated from January 1, 2005 until December 31, 2012 to identify those who developed ischemic stroke. Each identified patient with burn injury was matched with one hundred unexposed patients based on a high-dimensional propensity score. Cox regression models were applied to compare the risks of the development of ischemic stroke in the matched cohorts.
resultsA total of 743,237 patients were enrolled. After matching, 1,763 burn injury patients and 176,300 unexposed patients were selected and compared. The adjusted hazard ratio of ischemic stroke was significantly increased in burn injury patients (1.84; 95% CI, 1.43-2.36). A subgroup analysis based on patients who survived longer than 12 months in the matched cohort also revealed higher hazard ratio in the burn injury patients (1.54; 95% CI, 1.11-2.13).
conclusionThe risk of ischemic stroke is significantly higher in patients hospitalized with burn injury than in the general population, and these risks may extend longer than expected.
