Socioeconomic variations in the proportions of stroke attributable to reproductive profiles among postmenopausal women in China.
Article in BMC medicine, 2025. 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
backgroundThis prospective study aimed to examine the individual and combined population attributable fractions (PAFs) of stroke and its subtypes associated with reproductive factors among Chinese postmenopausal women, highlighting variations across socioeconomic status (SES) stratas.
methodsData were from 138,873 Chinese postmenopausal women enrolled in the China Kadoorie Biobank. Reproductive factors evaluated in this study included early age at menarche, early age at menopause, advanced age at first live birth, high parity, history of stillbirth, history of miscarriage or termination, and non-lactation. PAFs were calculated using hazard ratios, estimated using Cox proportional hazard regression, and prevalence of the seven reproductive factors. PAF for each reproductive risk factor and combined PAFs for all factors were estimated in total population and across SES classes.
resultsOf the 138,873 included participants, 17,042 developed strokes during a median follow-up period of 8.9 years. Across SES classes, the greatest attributable fractions of total stroke cases were observed for high parity among low-SES women (PAF 17.2%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 13.7%, 20.6%), history of miscarriage or termination among medium-SES women (PAF 11.4%, 95% CI 8.2%, 14.5%), and no history of lactation among high-SES women (PAF 3.1%, 95% CI 1.7%, 4.9%). A multiplicatively estimated 20.5% (95% CI 20.4%, 20.5%) and 3.1% (95% CI 1.7%, 4.9%) of stroke cases were attributable to the seven reproductive risk factors in low-SES and high-SES women, respectively.
conclusionsA large fraction of stroke cases among Chinese postmenopausal women were associated with reproductive factors. Targeted cardiovascular prevention strategies are warranted among women with different SES to mitigate risks associated with different reproductive profiles.
