    Overall risk ratio (RR) for the association of proteinuria with risk of stroke in population-based cohort studies for 5 studies reporting separate estimates according to subgroups of a)sex or b)diabetic status. Separate estimates were pooled so that 1 study contributed 1 estimate to summary estimates. Abbreviation: CI, confidence interval.
