Long-Term Risk of Stroke and Poststroke Outcomes in Patients with Heart Failure: Two Nationwide Studies.
Article in Clinical epidemiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 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
objectiveTo evaluate the long-term risk of stroke and poststroke adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF).
methodsWe used research data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Program from 2000 to 2005 and identified 20,072 adults aged ≥30 years who were newly diagnosed with HF. Frequency matching based on age and sex was used to select a comparison cohort consisting of 80,288 adults without HF. Events of incident stroke were identified from medical claims during the 2000-2013 follow-up period. The adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the association of stroke with HF were calculated with a multiple Cox proportional hazard model. Another nested stroke cohort study of 480,604 hospitalized stroke patients determined the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs for adverse events after stroke in patients with and without HF between 2000 and 2009.
resultsCompared with the non-HF cohort, HF patients had an increased risk of stroke (HR 2.32, 95% CI 2.21-2.43), including ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. The association between HF and stroke was significant in both sexes and in patients in all age groups and with various medical conditions. Previous HF was associated with poststroke mortality (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.31-1.50), pneumonia (OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.28-1.38), and septicemia (OR 1.30, 95% CI 1.23-1.37).
conclusionHF was associated with a higher risk of stroke, and patients with HF had more complications and greater mortality after stroke.
