1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundIntegrating social and medical care is one strategy to promote health equity. Yet, little is known about the prevalence of health-related social risks (social risks) among survivors of stroke. We sought to determine the prevalence of social risks among survivors and to quantify how social risks change after a stroke. METHODS AND

resultsWe conducted a cross-sectional analysis of community-dwelling older adults (age≥65) from the National Health and Aging Trends Survey. Six core social risks were examined: medical financial risks, utility financial risks, housing, nutrition, social isolation, and transportation. We used a Poisson regression model to explore the association of social risks and history of stroke, accounting for sociodemographic factors (age, sex, race or ethnicity, education, income, rurality) and comorbidities. In a separate series analysis, we determined the association between stroke and changes in social risks in a propensity-matched cohort. Of 5834 older adults, 673 were survivors of stroke. In cross-sectional analysis, survivors of stroke were more likely to report social risks than older adults without a history of stroke (54.3% versus 40.2%,

conclusionsOver half of older adults who have had a stroke report experiencing a social risk, with a 35% higher prevalence compared with older adults who have not had a stroke. Thus, social risks disproportionately affect survivors of stroke.
