Potential association between bacterial infections and ischemic stroke based on fifty case-control studies: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in New microbes and new infections. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Background: Stroke is considered as one of the most important concerns in health care centers around the world. By definition there are two types of stroke including ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke. Approximately three-quarters of stroke cases are ischemic strokes, which occur due to several risk factors such as hypertension, obesity, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, osteoarthritis, and inflammatory responses. In recent years, infectious diseases have noticed as a new risk factor for ischemic stroke. Given the importance of the issue, some bacteria that cause chronic infections, especially Methods: In the present meta-analysis, we reviewed 50 case-control studies and assessed the possible association of bacterial infections with the occurrence of ischemic stroke. Results: We analyzed the information of 33,978 participants in several nested case-control studies, and ultimately showed that bacterial infections could increase the risk of ischemic stroke. Our results suggest that bacterial infections significantly increase in the risk of ischemic stroke (OR: 1.704; 1.57-1.84 with 95% CIs; Conclusions: In this meta-analysis, a significant relationship was observed between infection by three bacteria such as
