Co-evolving adiposity and frailty trajectories shape stroke risk in middle-aged and older adults.
Article in iScience, 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
Obesity and frailty are independently associated with stroke risk, but their joint longitudinal evolution and combined prognostic significance remain unclear. Using harmonized data from four nationally representative aging cohorts (China health and retirement longitudinal study [CHARLS], health and retirement study [HRS], English longitudinal study of aging [ELSA], and survey of health, aging and retirement in Europe [SHARE]), we applied group-based multi-trajectory modeling to 41,717 stroke-free participants aged ≥45 years to identify distinct joint body mass index (BMI)-frailty index trajectories. Five trajectory subgroups were identified in each cohort. Over a median follow-up of 11.0 years, the obesity and high-frailty group consistently demonstrated the highest stroke risk across all cohorts (hazard ratios [HRs], 2.86-7.87), whereas the overweight and low-frailty group showed protective associations (HRs, 0.42-0.60). High frailty was the dominant risk modifier within each BMI category. These findings were robust across extensive sensitivity analyses and indicate that joint BMI-frailty trajectory assessment provides superior stroke risk stratification compared with either measure alone.
