Assessment and treatment of stroke in children.
Article in Current treatment options in neurology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Pediatric stroke remains underrecognized by physicians and families despite efforts to increase awareness. Although the incidence is only 2 to 3 per 100,000 children, stroke is a significant cause of disability in childhood. Ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes occur with approximately equal frequency. How these children should be evaluated and treated has not been well studied, except for randomized, controlled trials performed in children with sickle cell disease. There are consensus guidelines for the evaluation and treatment of ischemic stroke in children but not for hemorrhagic stroke. Extrapolation from the adult stroke literature is problematic in some cases. Children should be evaluated urgently and thoroughly, as multiple stroke risk factors may be present. Treatment includes supportive care geared to reducing metabolic demands in the setting of cerebral ischemia or hemorrhage, as well as targeted therapy depending on the presumed cause of stroke and individual patient risk factors.
