Prevalence and risk factors associated with stroke in middle-aged and older Chinese: A community-based cross-sectional study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 19 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
Although the prevalence of stroke and its risk factors has been widely reported in some Western countries, information on essential stroke parameters is lacking in China, the most populous nation. A community-based cross-sectional study with 8,018 Chinese adults aged ≥40 years was used to determine the prevalence of stroke and associated risk factors. Within the screened population, the prevalence of stroke was 2.21% for both sexes, 1.60% for females, and 3.18% for males. Prevalence increased with age in both sexes (P < 0.0001). In a multivariable model, factors significantly associated with stroke were increasing age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.87, 95% CI: 1.58-2.24), male gender (OR = 2.03, 95% CI: 1.42-2.90), family history of stroke (OR = 4.33, 95% CI: 2.89-6.49), history of hyperlipidemia (OR = 1.87, 95% CI 1.31-2.68), history of hypertension (OR = 1.47, 95% CI 1.02-2.12), and physical inactivity (OR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.16-2.59). The findings indicate that stroke prevalence in middle-aged and older Chinese adults is higher in males than in females, and increases with age in both sexes. Population-based public health intervention programs and policies targeting hyperlipidemia and hypertension control and encouragement of physical activity should be highly prioritized for middle-aged and older adults in Shenzhen, China.
