Stroke-related knowledge and warning signs and its association with seeking emergency medical service among urban and rural residents in Huanggang, China.

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 is the leading cause of disability and death among residents in China, with significant regional disparities. However, it remains unclear whether there are differences in stroke emergency knowledge and awareness between urban and rural populations. Therefore, this study aims to explore the seeking of emergency medical services (EMS) and its influencing factors in urban and rural areas. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional design was applied with 760 residents in Huanggang, China, based on a cluster sampling method. A self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection, with multiple logistic regression applied to investigate factors influencing seeking EMS.
resultsThe majority of participants were male (65.0%), with a median age of 65 years. After adjusting for other covariates, urban residents who had good stroke-related knowledge (
conclusionThe intention to call EMS is influenced by stroke-related knowledge, warning signs, and other factors, which differ across urban and rural contexts. Thus, future interventions aimed at improving stroke identification and decision-making using EMS should take these characteristics into account, which might ultimately help to prevent pre-hospital delays.
