Allostatic Load and Healthcare Access Among Stroke Survivors.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. 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
introductionPersistent racial/ethnic differences in stroke outcomes are only partially explained by variations in the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) and neurological factors. Allostatic load – a theoretical framework of cumulative life stress – may provide additional insight into differences in stroke, but the presentation of allostatic load and its interaction with the SDOH in stroke is not clearly understood. This study aimed to explore the association between allostatic load and healthcare access, accounting for heterogeneity in the SDOH.
methodsUsing nine biomarkers contained in three cross sections from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), we calculated an allostatic load index for stroke survivors. Regression analysis evaluated the association between allostatic load and healthcare access accounting for differences in SDOH. Racial and ethnic interactions evaluated differential racial/ethnic access.
resultsBlack stroke survivors (9.48, SD = 2.92) and stroke survivors of other races (9.59, SD = 3.90) had higher average allostatic load than White (9.42, SD = 3.30) stroke survivors despite being younger and have longer time post onset. However, regression results within racial groups indicated that Black stroke survivors (2.18, CI = 2.18, 2.19, OR 8.88) and those of Other race (2.28, CI = 2.28, 2.28, OR = 9.80) who had a regular location to receive healthcare had higher odds of higher allostatic load. Compared to those with private insurance, Black (2.21, CI = 2,17, 2.25, OR = 9.12) stroke survivors who were insured by Medicare had higher odds of higher allostatic load while Other races had lower odds (2.16, CI = 2.16, 2.16, OR = 8.66).
conclusionsFindings revealed strong associations between indicators of healthcare assess and allostatic load within racial and ethnic groups suggesting that post-stroke rehabilitation may mitigate the accumulation of allostatic load among stroke survivors.
