Stroke in High-Altitude Areas.
Review in Brain and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundStroke poses a significant social and familial burden on populations worldwide. While research on stroke in low-altitude areas is extensive, there remains a considerable gap in stroke research in high-altitude regions.
methodsA computer-based search of PubMed and Google Scholar was conducted to retrieve literature on stroke in high-altitude areas. Cross-referencing was performed using available articles and other scientific search engines. Relevant studies on stroke in high-altitude regions were included in this review.
resultsA total of five review articles, two systematic reviews and meta-analyses, three cross-sectional studies, nine retrospective clinical studies (including case reports and case-control studies), one commentary, one letter, and three animal studies were included in this literature review. All data were sourced from high-altitude regions.
conclusionWe explored the contribution of environmental and individual factors in high-altitude areas to the occurrence and progression of stroke, and highlighted the current research advances in ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, post-stroke cognitive impairment in high-altitude regions, and flight-related stroke. In light of the current limitations in research on stroke in these areas, we propose feasible directions for future studies, aiming to provide insights for future research on stroke in high-altitude regions.
