Sex differences in risk factors, treatment, and prognosis in acute stroke.
Article in Women's health (London, England). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
objectivesStroke is a major cause of long-term disability and death worldwide. Several studies have shown that women in general have more severe symptoms at arrival to hospital and are less likely to return home and independent living. Our aim with the present study was to update previous results concerning sex differences in baseline characteristics, stroke management, and outcome in a population study from Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden.
methodsThis study included patients with acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke in 2014 at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. All data were collected from The Swedish National Stroke Registry (Riksstroke).
resultsThe study population consisted of 1453 patients, with 46.7% females. Women were 5 years older than men. There was no sex difference in acute stroke severity. Frequency of revascularization was equal between men and women. The stroke mortality rate was the same between the sexes. At 3-months follow-up, women had a worse functional outcome and a higher frequency of depression and post-stroke fatigue.
conclusionOur results show that there are no sex differences in management of acute stroke. However, the cause of worse functional outcome in women at 3-months follow-up, independent of other risk factors, is not clear and warrants further investigations.
