Incidence and Etiology of Stroke among Hospitalized Children: A Case-Series Study.
Article in Iranian journal of child neurology, 2019. 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
objectivesStroke is a sudden blockage or rupture of brain vessels resulting neural defect or impairment. We aimed to investigate the incidence and causes of stroke in hospitalized children (Tehran-Iran, 2008-2013). MATERIALS &
methodsThis case series study was carried out in pediatric ward of tertiary care Vali-Asr Hospital, Imam Khomeini Hospitals Complex (Tehran- Iran) from 2008 to 2013. One month to 15 yr old admitted children due to stroke were enrolled into this case series study. Diagnosis was confirmed with brain imaging. Participants' demographic data, potential risk factors and neuroimaging findings were obtained from Hospital Reporting System. Recorded data were studied and considered regarding the incidence of stroke and its causes. Indeed we investigated cardiological causes as well as different items related to hematological disorders.
resultsOf 20000 admitted subjects in Imam Hospital during 5 yr, stroke was diagnosed in 15 cases. The incidence among the population study was 0.75 per 100000 children. Stroke was more frequent in males than females (
conclusionThe incidence of stroke in children was 0.75 per 100000. Hemorrhagic stroke due to major trauma, coagulopathy and vasculopathy were observed as most frequent causes that necessitate implementing some strategies for prevention, earlier diagnosis, and treatment.
