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
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the risk factors for acute first-ever ischaemic stroke (IS) in the elderly population aged ≥60 years in the eastern part of Liaoning Province, China. Patients and Methods: This retrospective case-control study was derived from the Benxi Clinical Biobank and the Thrombotic Chronic Non-Communicable Disease Cohort Study in Natural Populations in Eastern Liaoning (ChiCTR2300074593). We collected cases of acute IS in the elderly population and selected the corresponding controls in a 1:1 ratio for inclusion in the study. Data collection included sociodemographics, clinical characteristics, and laboratory characteristics. We used IBM SPSS Statistics V26.0 for Windows for descriptive statistical analysis and conditional logistic regression analysis to determine risk factors for IS. Results: This study included 326 cases (163 pairs) of study subjects. The median age of the cases and controls was 65 years (62-70). Both groups were predominantly 60-69 years old in the age subgroups, 69.3% in the case group and 74.2% in the control group, with a p-value of 0.011; females in both groups accounted for 49.1% in the case group and 49.1% in the control group. Variables with P < 0.05 in the univariate analysis included current smoking, current alcohol consumption, fasting blood glucose, and hypertension. Variables statistically significant in the univariate analysis entered into the multivariate multifactorial analysis. The results showed that hypertension (OR, 1.977; 95% CI, 1.322-2.956) and current alcohol consumption (OR, 1.549; 95% CI, 1.086-2.210) were independent risk factors for acute first-ever IS in the elderly population aged ≥60 years. Conclusion: Hypertension and current alcohol consumption are major risk factors for IS in an elderly population in eastern Liaoning Province.
