Associations between posttraumatic stress and stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of traumatic stress, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
The objective of the present study was to systematically review the existing literature for studies examining the association between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and stroke risk and perform a meta-analysis to obtain a pooled risk estimate describing the association. A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, PSYCInfo, and CINAHL to identify relevant studies. Cohort and cross-sectional studies that reported PTSD exposure (i.e., PTSD diagnosis, probable PTSD, or the presence of PTSD symptoms) at baseline and the risk or odds of stroke associated with PTSD exposure during the study period were included in the analysis. A random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled hazard ratio (HR) for cohort studies estimating the association between PTSD and stroke. Overall, 11 studies met the inclusion criteria; eight were cohort studies, and three were cross-sectional studies. Two cohort studies and all cross-sectional studies used self-report of PTSD symptoms to measure the exposure. The pooled hazard ratio for the eight cohort studies showed that having PTSD was associated with a 59% higher risk of incident stroke, HR = 1.59, 95% CI [1.36, 1.86], I
