Exploring Gender-Specific Stroke Risks in Diabetic Patients: Insights from a Retrospective Analysis of Contributing Factors.
Article in Iranian journal of nursing and midwifery research. 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: Diabetics face a higher risk of stroke, and the numbers are rising. In men, gender-specific factors such as lower age and body mass index, and in women, obesity and psychosocial stress contribute to a high risk of stroke. For effective prevention, it is crucial to identify and address these risk factors. Materials and Methods: The electronic medical records between January 2017 and December 2021 of previously diagnosed diabetic patients were obtained from a tertiary care hospital in Mangaluru, South India. It was scrutinized from (January 3, 2022, to March 12, 2022) using a validated checklist consisting of 28 items to identify the contributing factors of stroke (CVI = 0.9 and Cronbach's alpha value = 0.83) Descriptive statistics and inferential tests such as the Chi-square, Fisher's exact, and odds ratio (OR) were used. Results: Out of 3152, 569 suffered a stroke, while the remaining 2583 did not have a stroke. Out of 569, the majority were males (63.9%). It was found that coronary artery disease (CAD) (OR: 1.43, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.10-2.07), use of alcohol (OR: 1.58, 95% CI: 1.09-2.29), and smoking (OR: 1.9, 95% CI: 1.29-2.80) were associated with the risk of stroke in men. Conclusions: The present study found that CAD and unhealthy habits such as the use of alcohol and smoking have a significant influence on the development of stroke among men and women with diabetes. Effective implementation of programs through early detection, comprehensive management, and prevention requires collaboration among healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, and educators.
