Temporal, geographical and demographic trends of stroke prevalence in China: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundChina has made large efforts to reduce stroke prevalence. We aimed to systematically examine the prevalence of stroke in China over the past two decades.
methodsDatabases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, VIP, and PubMed, were systematically searched for studies published in English or Chinese that reported stroke prevalence in China during 2000-2017. Meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the pooled stroke prevalence and the variations in stroke prevalence subgroups stratified by age, gender, time period, and region.
resultsIn total, 96 papers met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis showed that the overall estimated national prevalence was 5.1% (5.0-5.3%) with large variations across regions: 3.1% (2.5-3.6%) in south China, 3.4% (3.0-3.8%) in southwest China, 3.6% (3.3-3.8%) in east China, 5.0% (4.7-5.4%) in central China, 5.8% (4.6-7.1%) in northwest China, 6.0% (5.0-7.0%) in northeast China, and 8.0% (7.4-8.5%) in north China. Men had a higher prevalence than women [7.3% (6.9-7.7%)
conclusionsMen, people being older, or living in northern China had higher stroke prevalence. More vigorous efforts are needed in China to prevent stroke.
