Differences in the burden and temporal trend of stroke in the Belt and Road Initiative countries, 1990-2021.
Article in Open medicine (Warsaw, Poland), 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
Objectives: To analyze the differences in the burden and trend of disability caused by stroke in "Belt and Road" ("B&R") countries from 1990 to 2021. Methods: We applied GBD 2021 to compare stroke incidence, mortality, the years lived with disability (YLDs) and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) from 1990 to 2021 in the "B&R" countries. The average annual percent change (AAPC) was used to analyze the temporal trends of age-standardized YLDs rate of stroke from 1990 to 2021 by Joinpoint regression analysis. Results: China, India and Indonesia had the highest absolute stroke numbers of stroke. From 1990 to 2021, the AAPC values of age-standardized metrics showed a downward trend in most of "B&R" countries. Turkmenistan had the highest increase in AAPCs of age-standardized YLDs rate for men (AAPC=0.60 %), while for women Philippines had the highest increase (AAPC=0.57 %). For under 15 years, YLDs due to stroke in most member states showed a downward trend, while increasing trends were noted in Saudi Arabia and Turkmenistan. Globally, metabolic, environmental/occupational and behavioral risk factors showed significant reductions (AAPC: -0.12 %, -0.92 %, and -0.53 %, respectively). Conclusions: The overall burden of stroke remains enormous, with regional, age and gender disparities. Enhanced health cooperation among B&R countries is warranted.
