Identification of Risk Factors for Stroke in China: A Meta-Analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies.

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
This study aimed to identify independent risk factors for first occurrence of stroke in Chinese individuals based on prospective cohort studies. Forty prospective cohort studies assessing 1,984,552 individuals were selected for the final meta-analysis. The identified risk factors for stroke in the Chinese population included old age (RR = 1.86, 95%CI: 1.47-2.36), hypertension (RR = 2.76, 95%CI: 2.26-3.37), cardiovascular disease history (RR = 1.98, 95%CI: 1.06-3.69), chronic kidney disease (RR = 1.65, 95%CI: 1.36-2.01), diabetes mellitus (RR = 1.71, 95%CI: 1.34-2.18), metabolic syndrome (RR = 1.59, 95%CI: 1.33-1.90), hyperglycemia (RR = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.31-1.69), obesity (RR = 1.45, 95%CI: 1.29-1.63), smoking (RR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.27-1.58), prolonged sleep time (> 7.5 h, RR = 1.44, 95%CI: 1.19-1.75), higher levels of triglyceride (RR = 1.19, 95%CI: 1.07-1.32), C-reactive protein (RR = 1.34, 95%CI: 1.07-1.69). High fruit-rich diet (RR = 0.68, 95%CI: 0.58-0.80) was associated with a lower risk of stroke. The spectrum and power of risk factors varied among different cohort inclusion years. These findings provide a comprehensive tool for the primary prevention of stroke in Chinese individuals.
