National impact of ICD-11 stroke reclassification on projected incidence across the United Kingdom.
Article in European journal of public health, 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
The ICD-11 stroke definition expands stroke diagnosis by including neuroimaging-confirmed brain lesions regardless of symptom duration. Using directly age- and sex-standardized rates from the South London Stroke Register applied to UK Census 2021/2022 populations, we projected that ICD-11 to increase UK stroke incidence by ∼4.2%, yielding an estimated 2771 additional cases annually (England +2313; Scotland +241; Wales +142; Northern Ireland +75). Ethnicity-adjusted estimates suggested a 6.2% increase for England and Wales. These projections are scenario estimates that assume South London rates apply uniformly across the UK, their central limitation, and their realization will depend on local imaging and referral practice. Many additional cases will likely be managed in outpatient settings, requiring expanded provision, improved MRI, and strengthened cardiovascular prevention.
