Temporal trend and attributable risk factors of ischemic stroke burden in China, 1990-2021.
Article in BMC neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundIschemic stroke (IS) is the third leading cause of death and disability in China. The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study provides the data on IS from 1990 to 2021. This study firstly analyzed the disease burden and risk factors for IS in China from 1990 to 2021, with a special focus on the epidemiological changes following the COVID-19 outbreak.
methodsBased on GBD 2021 data, this study conducted a secondary analysis of the incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), years of life lost (YLLs), and years lived with disability (YLDs) and attributable risk factors of IS in China from 1990 to 2021. Trends in IS were assessed by estimated annual percentage change (EAPC). All analyses were stratified by sex and age.
resultsIS incidence rose from 0.76 million in 1990 to 2.77 million in 2021 (EAPC: 4.21, 95% CI: 3.98-4.44). The prevalence increased from 6.58 million in 1990 to 20.80 million in 2021 (EAPC: 3.85, 95% CI: 3.62-4.08). The rates and age-standardized rates (ASRs) for these metrics increased from 1990 to 2021, with a sharp increase in 2020-2021. Although the number of deaths and DALYs rose to 0.28 million and to 5.01 million in 2021 respectively, the ASRs decreased from 1990 to 2021. The disease burden of IS is generally higher in males than in females at all ages. The IS burden were expected to continue growing from 2021 to 2030. In 2021, the top 3 risk factors for IS DALYs were High systolic blood pressure, Ambient particulate matter pollution, and High LDL cholesterol.
conclusionsThe disease burden of IS in China has notably increased over the past three decades, with significant differences in sex and age groups. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the epidemiology of IS. China needs to take appropriate prevention and treatment measures for key populations, and pay attention to changes in IS management in the post-epidemic era.
