Date of birth and the incidence of acute ischemic stroke in Hungary.
Article in Revista de neurologia, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionThe effect of the date of birth on the incidence of cardiovascular disease was confirmed in earlier studies. We aimed to determine whether the season of birth may be associated with a higher incidence of stroke in later life by analyzing thrombolysis numbers according over a ten-year period in Hungary. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe analyzed daily thrombolysis numbers between 2007 and 2016 according to the patients' date of birth based on seasons. The correlation between cumulative thrombolysis numbers between 2007 and 2016 per month and birth numbers per month based on data of the 1949 census were also examined.
resultsOur results indicate that being born in the spring and summer in the northern hemisphere may be associated with a higher frequency of ischemic stroke necessitating thrombolytic treatment. This equates to a higher risk when conception and early pregnancy occur in the summer and autumn months.
conclusionsThis, however, cannot be defined as a causal relationship if we consider the number of live births in 1949, as both measures change similarly during the year, as indicated by the strong positive correlation between thrombolysis frequency according to date of birth between 2007 and 2016 and the number of births in the 1949 census by month.
