CFAST: a simplified and culturally adapted stroke education tool for Chinese communities.
Article in Frontiers in stroke, 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
Background/objectives: Rapid recognition of stroke symptoms in Chinese populations is poor, and improving the timely and reliable identification of patients could significantly expedite the administration of stroke therapy. This study aimed to develop and evaluate CFAST ("Zhongfeng, shuo-xiao-dong" meaning "stroke, speech, smile, move"), compare its learning efficiency, comprehension, and 1-h recall with Stroke-120, and validate its performance in a larger pragmatic cohort. Methods: Phase 1 involved a comparison of standardized community sessions using CFAST ( Results: In Phase 1, all CFAST-trained participants (192/192; 100%) mastered the mnemonic within 5 min, compared to 3.65% (7/192) in the Stroke-120 group after a 30-min training ( Conclusion: The newly developed CFAST mnemonic achieved superior short-term comprehension and recall compared with Stroke-120 and demonstrated scalability across communities. Our findings support its feasibility for public stroke education in Chinese populations.
