Demographic Disparities in Stroke Occurrence: Insights From an Integrative Review of Emerging Trends.
Review in Brain and behavior, 2025. 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 AND
objectivesStroke continues to be a major global health challenge, with notable differences in its occurrence across various demographic groups. This review aimed to investigate trends in stroke occurrence, focusing on disparities related to age, sex, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and geographic location.
methodsA thorough review of the literature was conducted using prominent databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Scopus. Studies published between 2015 and 2025 that examined stroke in relation to demographic factors were included. Articles were selected based on relevance, study design, and the rigor of the research methodology. Both qualitative and quantitative studies were included in the synthesis. The data were synthesized qualitatively to highlight significant trends.
resultsThis review revealed that age is a key factor in the occurrence of stroke. Stroke prevalence increases with age, particularly in individuals aged 65 years and older. Gender differences in stroke risk are evident-men tend to have higher stroke risks at younger ages, whereas women face a greater risk later in life, especially after menopause. Ethnic disparities are also significant, with African Americans and Hispanics experiencing a higher risk of stroke compared to Caucasians. This increased risk is influenced by genetics, socioeconomic factors, and a higher prevalence of hypertension and diabetes.
conclusionDemographic disparities significantly affect both the occurrence and outcome of stroke. Addressing these disparities requires comprehensive approaches, including enhanced access to preventive care, culturally sensitive health education, and targeted policies aimed at high-risk groups.
