Sex-specific racial and ethnic variations in short-term outcomes among patients with first or recurrent ischemic stroke: Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program, 2016-2020.
Article in Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association, 2024. 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
background and purposeTo understand the association of sex-specific race and ethnicity on the short-term outcomes of initial and recurrent ischemic stroke events.
methodsUsing the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program from 2016-2020, we examined 426,062 ischemic stroke admissions from 629 hospitals limited to non-Hispanic White (NHW), non-Hispanic Black (NHB), and Hispanic patients. We performed multivariate logistic regression analyses to assess the combined effects of sex-specific race and ethnicity on short-term outcomes for acute ischemic stroke patients presenting with initial or recurrent stroke events. Outcomes assessed include rates of in-hospital death, discharge to home, and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) after reperfusion treatment.
resultsAmong studied patients, the likelihood of developing sICH after reperfusion treatment for initial ischemic stroke was not significantly different. The likelihood of experiencing in-hospital death among patients presenting with initial stroke was notably higher among NHW males (AOR 1.59 [95 % CI 1.46, 1.73]), NHW females (AOR 1.34 [95 % CI 1.23, 1.45]), and Hispanic males (AOR 1.57 [95 % CI 1.36, 1.81]) when compared to NHB females. Hispanic females were more likely to be discharged home when compared to NHB females after initial stroke event (AOR 1.32 [95 % CI 1.23, 1.41]). NHB males (AOR 0.90 [95 % CI 0.87, 0.94]) and NHW females (AOR 0.89 [95 % CI 0.86, 0.92]) were less likely to be discharged to home. All groups with recurrent ischemic strokes experienced higher likelihood of in-hospital death when compared to NHB females with the highest likelihood among NHW males (AOR 2.13 [95 % CI 1.87, 2.43]). Hispanic females had a higher likelihood of discharging home when compared to NHB females hospitalized for recurrent ischemic stroke, while NHB males and NHW females with recurrent ischemic stroke hospitalizations were less likely to discharge home.
conclusionsSex-specific race and ethnic disparities remain for short-term outcomes in both initial and recurrent ischemic stroke hospitalizations. Further studies are needed to address disparities among recurrent ischemic stroke hospitalizations.
