Women and stroke: disparities in clinical presentation, severity, and short- and long-term outcomes.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Objectives: There are limited data from the Middle East on sex-related differences in short- and long-term stroke outcomes. We present 8 years of experience based on the Qatar stroke database. Setting: The Qatar stroke database prospectively collects data on all stroke patients admitted to Hamad General Hospital. For this study, we compared female and male acute ischemic stroke patients on their characteristics at admission, short-term outcomes [modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score], and long-term outcomes [incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs)]. Participants: A total of 7,300 patients [F: 1,406 (19.3%), M: 5,894 (80.7%); mean age 55.1 ± 13.3 (F: 61.6 ± 15.1, M: 53.5 ± 12.3; Results: Significantly fewer women presented within 4.5 h of onset (F: 29% vs. M: 32.8%; Primary and secondary outcome measures: Good outcomes at 90 days (mRS score of 0-2) were less frequent in women (F: 53.3% vs. M: 71.2%; Conclusion: Older age at presentation contributes to poor outcomes following acute stroke in women. Other contributing factors include delays in admission to the hospital, lower rates of thrombolysis, and lower rates of provision of preventative treatments.
