Lifestyle behaviors and cardiovascular risk factors in transgender versus cisgender stroke survivors.
Article in PloS one, 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
Transgender individuals represent a vulnerable population with unique healthcare needs. Despite facing health disparities, there is limited research on the characteristics and stroke risk factors among transgender stroke survivors. We extracted and analyzed data from the 2020-2022 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) to study stroke risk factors among transgender stroke survivors and to compare them to cisgender stroke survivors. cisgender stroke survivors were paired with transgender stroke survivors using a 1:2 propensity score matching (PSM) ratio. Demographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, and vascular risk factors were assessed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. Out of 29,628 individuals with a history of stroke, we identified 189 transgender stroke survivors and matched them with 378 cisgender stroke survivors. Transgender individuals exhibited a higher odds of reporting a history of stroke compared to cisgenders (adjusted odds ratio[aOR]=1.692, 95% CI 1.645-1.741). Hypertension (57.8%), depression (54.3%), hypercholesterolemia (52%), and obesity (44.7%) were the most common risk factors for transgender stroke survivors. Transgender stroke survivors had higher odds of lifestyle risk factors such as e-cigarette smoking (aOR=3.651, 95%CI 1.373-9.705), binge drinking (aOR=2.519, 95%CI 1.088-5.832), alcohol consumption (aOR=2.147, 95%CI 1.049-4.395), and tobacco smoking (aOR=2.030, 95%CI 1.214-3.395). In conclusion, transgender stroke survivors may face significant challenges due to elevated modifiable risk factors, especially lifestyle-related ones. Recognizing these specific risk factors is crucial for targeted interventions for transgender stroke survivors.
