Risk of ischemic stroke and utility of CHA
Article in Clinical cardiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
backgroundThe magnitude of increased risk of stroke in women with atrial fibrillation (AF) remains uncertain. HYPOTHESIS: We investigated the risk of ischemic stroke and death in women and men with AF, and the risk associated with individual non-sex CHA
methodsRetrospective cohort study of 231 077 (48.1% women) nonselected patients with AF not receiving oral anticoagulation from 2006 to 2014. Data from cross-linked national Swedish registers. The outcome was the first occurrence of ischemic stroke or death. Median age was 82 and 75 years in women and men, respectively. Mean follow-up was 2.5 years.
resultsHazard ratios, adjusted for non-sex CHA
conclusionsThe risk of ischemic stroke was 1.5-fold higher in women compared to men but this association appears to be the result of confounding by age. In the low risk end, the CHA
