Risk Factors Related to the Incidence of Stroke-Associated Pneumonia in Adults: Protocol for a Scoping Review.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 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
backgroundCerebrovascular diseases represent a major public health challenge, and stroke is among the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Among poststroke complications, pneumonia stands out because of its frequency and negative impact on clinical outcomes, including prolonged hospitalization and increased mortality. In this context, studies investigating the risk factors associated with stroke-related pneumonia differ in terms of their design, care setting, and adopted definitions.
objectiveThis study aims to map risk factors related to the incidence of pneumonia in adults hospitalized after stroke.
methodsThis scoping review protocol was developed in accordance with the JBI Reviewer's Manual and the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews). Searches will include the following indexed databases: PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and the Virtual Health Library. Gray literature will be searched in Google Scholar, the CAPES Theses and Dissertations Catalog, the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, ProQuest, SciELO Preprints, medRxiv, ClinicalTrials.gov, and the Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials. Additional organizational sources will include the World Health Organization, the Pan American Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the European Stroke Organisation, and the Brazilian Ministry of Health. Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods studies, including observational and experimental designs, will be considered, with no language or time restrictions, provided that they meet the eligibility criteria defined in the protocol. Study selection will follow 3 stages using Mendeley (Elsevier) and Rayyan (Rayyan Systems Inc).
resultsThis protocol was funded in June 2026 by the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul and the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Finance Code 001). The protocol was developed and prospectively registered in the Open Science Framework. Preliminary searches were carried out in August 2025 in PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase, and the Cochrane Library to test the sensitivity of the search strategies and estimate the potential volume of eligible studies. At the time of publication, the final search, study selection, data extraction, and evidence synthesis had been completed. The manuscript reporting the final review results is expected to be submitted for publication in early 2027.
conclusionsThis review is expected to contribute to the systematization of evidence on risk factors related to stroke-associated pneumonia, identify knowledge gaps, and support future prevention strategies and clinical management of hospitalized patients.
