Epidemiological trends and future projections of ischemic stroke in children and adolescents: a global analysis from 1990 to 2021.

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: Ischemic stroke in children and adolescents is a significant public health concern. This study aims to describe the epidemiological characteristics of ischemic stroke in children and adolescents from 1990 to 2021. Methods: Data on ischemic stroke in children and adolescents from 1990 to 2021 were taken from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study. The annual percentage change (AAPC) was used to assess trends in disease burden by region, age, and gender. To examine regional disparities, the Slope Index of Inequality (SII) and Concentration Index (ConcI) were applied. Additionally, the Bayesian Age-Period-Cohort (BAPC) model was employed to predict the disease burden for the next 15 years. Results: From 1990 to 2021, ischemic stroke in children and adolescents increased globally in incidence and prevalence, while mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) decreased. The disease burden is higher in low-income countries, with females having higher incidence rates and males bearing a greater burden in mortality and DALYs. Environmental factors like high temperatures are linked to increased risk. By 2036, incidence and prevalence may rise, particularly in the 15-19 age group, although mortality and DALYs are expected to continue decreasing. Conclusion: Ischemic stroke in this group shows an "increasing case number but decreasing mortality" trend, highlighting medical progress but ongoing risks. Challenges include gender differences, regional inequalities, and environmental risks. Targeted prevention strategies are needed to reduce the global disease burden.
