Risk factors for pulmonary infection in elderly patients with acute stroke: A meta-analysis.
Review in Heliyon, 2022. 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
Objective: The study aims to systematically evaluate the risk factors of pulmonary infection in elderly patients with acute stroke. Methods: PubMed, CENTRAL, CINAHL, Web of Science, Embase, and four Chinese databases (CNKI, SinoMed, VIP, and Wanfang databases) for studies involving risk factors of pulmonary infection in elderly patients with acute stroke were searched. Then, two researchers independently read the article titles and abstracts to screen the literature, extracted relevant research data, and evaluated the methodological quality. Finally, a meta-analysis was performed. Results: In total, fifteen studies were included, with medium and high-grade quality. Meta-analysis results showed: age [ Conclusions: Age, type of stroke, conscious disturbance, dysphagia, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, COPD, hyperlipidemia, invasive procedure, hospital stays, bedridden time, and NIHSS score were risk factors for pulmonary infection in elderly patients with acute stroke.
