1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundNo large-scale survey on public stroke awareness has been conducted in Korea since 2009. This study assessed temporal trends in awareness of stroke warning signs (WSs) and risk factors (RFs) from 2009 to 2023. We hypothesized that stroke awareness remains inadequate and that changes in information sources have influenced the depth of knowledge.

methodsSurveys were conducted nationwide in 2009 (n=1000) and 2023 (n=1012) assessing participants' knowledge of WSs, RFs, stroke treatment, response to stroke symptoms, and information sources. Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze trends in RF knowledge and factors associated with adequate stroke response, which is contacting emergency medical services immediately.

resultsBetween 2009 and 2023, the percentage of participants unable to identify any WS or RF significantly decreased (WSs: 38.5% to 22.6%, RFs: 43.9% to 37.2%;

conclusionsAlthough stroke awareness has seen some improvements, it remains insufficient, highlighting the need for targeted educational strategies.
