Cryptogenic Stroke and Significance of the Patent Foramen Ovale: A Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 2018. 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
Stroke is the second leading cause of death globally and can lead to significant adverse outcomes in patients following the acute illness. Due to this high morbidity and mortality, adequate interventions can play a significant role in health outcomes. Patent foramen ovale is one of the major proposed causes of cryptogenic strokes and can be present in up to 25% of general population. In cryptogenic strokes, the relation of this structural heart defect is inversely proportional to age of patient. Here, we present three cases of cryptogenic strokes in patients with patent foramen ovale where it possibly plays a significant role. We demonstrate that in the younger age spectrum, patent foramen ovale plays a more significant role and treatment could prevent future stroke episodes.
