Association between socioeconomic status and post-stroke functional outcome in deprived rural southern China: a population-based study.
Article in BMC neurology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundData on the association between socioeconomic status and post-stroke functional outcome in developing countries is lacking. We aimed to evaluate the association in stroke survivors in deprived rural Southern China.
methodsWe conducted door-to-door interviews and collected data using a structured questionnaire in stroke survivors from five fourth-class rural areas of Guangdong Province through a non-government initiated registry from August 2014 to March 2015. Descriptive statistics were used to provide information on the demographic, socioeconomic and clinical characteristics of the selected population. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to examine the relationship of socioeconomic status indexed by self-reported average family income and functional impairment defined as a modified Rankin Scale of 3 to 5.
resultsAmong the 425 stroke survivors, 52.7% lived below the poverty line set by the local government. About 50% of patients suffered from functional impairment and required assistance in their daily life. Compared with their wealthier counterpart, stroke survivors with lower income were more likely to have functional impairment (OR 2.85, 95% CI 1.93-4.23). The effect size increased and remained significant after adjusting for possible confounding factors (OR 3.17, 95% CI 2.04-4.91).
conclusionsPoorer patients tend to have poorer post-stroke functional outcome. Primary and secondary strategies targeting underprivileged populations in less-developed areas are thus urgently needed in China.
