Polycystic kidney disease increases the stoke incidence in Taiwan: A retrospective population-based cohort study using National Health Insurance Database.
Article in Biomedical journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundFew studies documented incidence rates of different types of stroke among patients with polycystic kidney disease (PKD).
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study based on the National Health Insurance (NHI) Database of Taiwan. The PKD cohort comprised patients aged≥20 years diagnosed with PKD using inpatient claims from 1998 to 2011, excluding prior stroke. The reference cohort was established by inpatients without PKD using 1:4 frequency-matched with age, gender, and baseline comorbidities. The two cohorts were followed-up until stroke hospitalization, death, withdrawal from the NHI program, or the end of 2012. To account for competing risks of death, we used multivariable competing risks regression models to estimate sub-distribution hazard ratio (SHR) adjusted for age, gender, baseline comorbidities and end stage renal disease.
results7837 PKD patients and 31,211 reference subjects were followed up through 2012. A total of 955 cases of stroke were identified in the PKD cohort, including 441 ischemic stroke (IS), 289 intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), 73 subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and 232 other stroke. The incidence rates of overall stroke, IS, ICH, and SAH were 21.3, 10.2, 6.8, and 1.7 per 1000 person-years, respectively. The SHR for overall stroke was 1.39 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.28-1.50]. SAH had the highest SHR, 4.55 [95% CI 3.26-6.37], followed by ICH (1.84), other stroke (1.24), and IS (1.22).
conclusionThis study illustrated the incidence rates of stroke among inpatient of PKD. The PKD patients had a significantly increased risk of all kinds of stroke after adjusting baseline comorbidities.
