Recrudescence of Old Stroke Deficits Among Transient Neurological Attacks.
Article in The Neurohospitalist, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundRecrudescence of old stroke deficits (ROSD) is a reported cause of transient neurological symptoms, but it is not well characterized.
objectiveWe sought to determine the prevalence, potential triggers, and clinical outcome of ROSD in a cohort of patients presenting with acute transient neurological attack (TNA) and absent acute pathology on brain imaging.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 340 consecutive patients who presented with TNA and no acute pathology on brain imaging that were included in an institutional stroke registry between February 2013 and April 2015. The presumed TNA cause was categorized as transient ischemic attack (TIA), ROSD, and other cause. Baseline characteristics, triggers, cardiovascular complications within 90 days, and death were recorded.
resultsThe prevalence of ROSD in the studied cohort was 10% (34/340). Infectious stressors and acute metabolite derangements were more common in ROSD compared to TIA (
conclusionROSD is common and distinct from TIA and is associated with a triggering physiologic reaction leading to transient reemergence of prior neurologic deficits. Further study of the mechanism of this phenomenon is needed to help better identify these patients.
