Sex Differences in Stroke in Cameroon: Results From a One-Year Prospective Follow-Up Cohort Study.
Article in Health science reports, 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
Background and Aims: Data suggests that men and women have different vascular risk profiles, clinical characteristics, and outcome trajectories after stroke. There is a dearth of data on sex differences in stroke in Cameroon. We aimed to examine sex differences in stroke in a 1-year follow-up prospective cohort study in Cameroon. Methods: This prospective cohort study included patients who were hospitalized for acute stroke and who were discharged between January 2013 and December 2013. Patients were followed up for 12 months. We compared differences in risk factors, clinical presentation at baseline, and mortality within 12 months of follow-up between men and women. A Results: A total of 254 patients with stroke were included in this study at baseline, including 135 (53.1%) men. Women were significantly older than men (65.7 ± 15.5 years vs. 59.2 ± 12.4, Conclusions: Men with stroke were younger and were more likely to smoke and consume alcohol. Women had greater stroke disability on admission. There was no significant difference in disability and in 1-year mortality between men and women, although mortality was higher in women.
