The Relationship Between Body Mass Index and Recurrence Risk of Stroke: A Systematic Review and Dose-Response Meta‑Analysis.
Synthesis in Brain and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveTo explore the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and the recurrence risk of stroke.
methodsWe searched databases, including the Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, Chinese Biomedical Literature (CBM), CQVIP, WanFang Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), from inception to February 2025, to collect literature on BMI and the recurrence risk of stroke. After two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted the literature data, and assessed the quality of the literature included in the study, a meta-analysis was conducted using Stata 16.0 software, and the dose-response relationship between BMI and the recurrence risk of stroke was analyzed using generalized least squares trend estimation method (GLST) and restricted cubic spline function.
resultsA total of 18 studies were included, involving 165,366 patients. In terms of stroke recurrence risk, compared with normal-weight patients, underweight patients [relative risk (RR) = 1.59, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.33-1.90, I
conclusionIncreased BMI is associated with a decreased recurrence risk of stroke. Underweight is a risk factor for stroke recurrence, whereas overweight and obesity are protective factors for stroke recurrence. Overweight and obesity may be beneficial for secondary prevention in stroke patients. CLINICAL
