Associations of Blood Soluble Fas and IGF-I with Risk of Hemorrhagic Stroke: The Circulatory Risk Communities Study (CIRCS).
Article in Translational stroke research, 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
backgroundAlthough several studies have examined the associations between apoptosis-related factors or growth factors and cardiovascular diseases, evidence on their prospective association with hemorrhagic stroke remains limited.
methodsWe conducted a nested case-control study within the large cohort of the Circulatory Risk in Communities Study in Japan. A total of 98 cases (60 intracerebral hemorrhage and 38 subarachnoid hemorrhage; 34 men and 64 women, aged 35 to 83 years at baseline) were included, along with 196 controls matched by age, sex, community, and year of sample collection. We measured serum levels of the soluble form of Fas and insulin-like growth factor-I among cases and controls. The odds ratios of total hemorrhagic stroke and its subtypes were calculated using conditional logistic regression analyses.
resultsThe median follow-up period from baseline to onset was 7.0 years. The multivariable odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) of total hemorrhagic stroke associated with a 1-standard deviation increment of soluble Fas (2.3 ng/mL) and insulin-like growth factor-I (40.5 ng/mL) were 0.93 (0.66-1.32) and 0.61 (0.41-0.89), respectively. The inverse association with insulin-like growth factor-I levels was similar for subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracerebral hemorrhage: the respective multivariable odds ratios were 0.53 (0.28-0.98) and 0.62 (0.37-1.04).
conclusionsThe present study identified an inverse association between insulin-like growth factor-I levels and the risk of hemorrhagic stroke.
