Risk Factors and Acute-Phase Blood Markers in Stroke Among Young Adults: A Hospital-Based Case-Control Study from South India.
Article in Indian journal of community medicine : official publication of Indian Association of Preventive & Social Medicine. 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: Early-onset stroke carries profound health and socioeconomic consequences and is an escalating concern owing to increased cardiovascular risk in young adults. This study explores lifestyle and comorbid risk factors in predicting stroke occurrence among young Indian adults. We also analyze post-admission blood markers to reveal acute-phase metabolic and inflammatory dysregulation. Methods: Unicentric case-control study of 40 cases of imaging confirmed acute stroke and 81 sex-matched controls all aged ≤45. Self-reported demographic, lifestyle and comorbidity histories, and laboratory reports within 6-8 hours post-admission were collected. Conditional and multivariate logistic regression estimated stroke odds associated with risk factors. Age- and sex-stratified analyses explored clustering of risk and pathophysiological derangements among subgroups. Results: Hypertension (OR: 22.0, Conclusions: This study compellingly identifies hypertension and alcohol use as major, independent predictors of early-onset stroke, underscoring distinct pathogenesis in this cohort and the urgent need for early detection, aggressive management, and behavioral modification. Stratified analyses further unveiled novel insights on age- and sex-specific heterogeneity in risk profiles and pathophysiology.
