[Knowledge on stroke in Spanish population. A systematic review].
Synthesis in Revista de neurologia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesTo analyze by means of a systematic review the general knowledge about strokes of the Spanish population. MATERIALS AND
methodsA systematic review is performed following PRISMA guidelines and with data from PubMed, Scopus and EMBASE. All studies carried out in Spain, centred around the knowledge of strokes are compiled (terminology, pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, risk factors, treatment, and willingness to make use of the Emergency Services). From the 4,627 articles collected, 21 were ultimately included in this review.
resultsIn Spain, the term stroke is less known than others such as embolism or cerebrovascular accident. Loss of strength is the most widely recognized symptom, whereas arterial hypertension is the most widely identified risk factor. The least known symptom and risk factor are visual impairment and diabetes mellitus, respectively. When faced with a suspected stroke, the attitude of most respondents is adequate as they decide to go to the hospital or call the Emergency Services. However, in rural areas or in cases in which the symptoms suddenly stop, a greater number of participants choose to go to their family physician. The main sources of information of the participants are their family members and their doctors.
conclusionsGeneral knowledge about strokes is scarce among the general population. Nonetheless, the attitude of most of the participants is adequate as they choose to contact specialized Emergency Services.
