Association of pulmonary function with the risk of stroke based on the NHANES database.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, often associated with various risk factors including age, hypertension, and diabetes. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between pulmonary function and the presence of stroke, accounting for demographic and clinical factors.
methodsA total of 6700 participants were enrolled from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to calculated the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of pulmonary function variables, including forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and peak expiratory flow rate (PEF), and the risk of stroke.
resultsParticipants with stroke were older, had higher body mass index (BMI), and exhibited a higher prevalence of diabetes and hypertension. Additionally, stroke patients had significantly lower levels of FEV1, FVC, and PEF. Higher quartiles of FEV1 (OR 0.21, 95%CI 0.05 to 0.67; P = 0.014), FVC (OR 0.29, 95%CI 0.10 to 0.82; P = 0.023), and PEF (OR 0.22, 95%CI 0.08 to 0.57; P = 0.003) were independently associated with risk of stroke after adjustment for demographic and clinical variables.
conclusionHigher levels of FEV1, FVC, and PEF were consistently associated with a reduced risk of stroke. These results highlight the potential importance of monitoring pulmonary function as a marker for stroke risk assessment and warrant further investigation into the underlying mechanisms of this association.
