Dynapenic Abdominal Obesity and the Risk of Stroke in Postmenopausal Women.
Article in International journal of women's health, 2026. 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: Stroke is highly prevalent among middle-aged and older adults, posing a significant global health burden. Dynapenic abdominal obesity (DAO), a clinical phenotype integrating dynapenia and abdominal obesity, has been linked to various chronic diseases. However, its association with incident stroke in postmenopausal women remains unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the prospective association between DAO and new-onset stroke in postmenopausal women. Methods: We included 2,654 participants from five waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Dynapenia was defined as handgrip strength < 18 kg, and abdominal obesity as waist circumference ≥ 85 cm. Participants were categorized into four groups: non-dynapenic/non-abdominally obese (ND/NAO), abdominally obese only (ND/AO), dynapenic only (D/NAO), and DAO (D/AO). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were employed to assess the association between DAO and incident stroke. Results: During a median 9-year follow-up, 309 incident stroke cases were documented. The incidence of stroke was highest in the D/AO group compared to other groups. After adjustment for sociodemographic factors, lifestyle behaviors, and cardiometabolic risk factors,the D/AO group showed a significantly higher risk of stroke compared to the ND/NAO group (HR: 2.341, 95% CI: 1.511-3.628). Conclusion: The coexistence of dynapenia and abdominal obesity is independently associated with a markedly elevated risk of incident stroke among postmenopausal women. Future research should focus on elucidating the underlying biological mechanisms in more detail and on designing and evaluating interventions specifically aimed at mitigating the stroke risk associated with this critical phenotype.
